It's been said enough about delays and slowness in Evolution. Here is yet another very annoying one. Documentation says that "Evolution normally sends mail as soon as you click Send". Well, it's not really true. When I click Send, a message goes to local Outbox and stay there for a noticeable time. I have not measured it, but it might be well 15-30 seconds. It's long enough to provoke a reaction to click on Send/Receive and to try to send it manually. And this is in fact exactly what happens - every time when I compose new message I send it manually clicking on Send/Receive simply because Evolution is not quick enough.
It is SMTP sending mechanism. SMTP server is on corporate intranet with a good response time. I could understand that the time while a message stays in Outbox is actually consumed by the process of establishing SMTP connection, but then it's the slowest one I ever seen among other mail clients. Therefore, I still believe that Evolution does not try to send a message immediately. How is it done internally? Is there a sort of timer based poll for messages in Outbox or some other reason for the delay?
