#3411: "Sending in background" with gmail ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: error27 | Owner: mutt-dev Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: mutt | Version: 1.5.18 Keywords: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ This is similar to bug #2961 and bug #2890.
I am in visiting Zambia and have a _really_ flaky connection. Normally my emails go through but once in a while it will sit for a while and then do the "Sending in background" thing. If that happens my email gets saved to my sent-msgs file but it doesn't get sent. I have this line in my .muttrc set sendmail_wait=0 I understood from the other bug that it would make the problem go away but it hasn't. I'm using mutt from Ubuntu 8.10, I have some additional patches installed that came as .debs. If there is a patch for me to test, I could compile that. Here is the output from mutt -v.
