Hi!
So now that I have solved my screen problem I am having a weird annoying problem with Thunderbird which is failing (time out error, but very fast response) to send email on the first "send click" on every account. After that everything works as long as I don't restart TB.
Any idea what this could be and how to look into it?
Thank you.
Fred

Are all of the accounts using the same Outgoing SMTP Server?
If you are using a domain name for the SMTP server, have you tried using an IP address instead?

Hi!
No they are not using the same SMTP server and have specific domain names. I haven't tried to use the IP address (I will right away), but all of this was working fine under F21 with whatever version of TB I was using. I would have hoped I wasn't the only one ;-)
... trying ...
and I am editing my draft to say the same happened when using the IP address. And since I changed the server name and am using SSL it only asked me to confirm the "new" certificate on my second click. So the first click doesn't seem to go anywhere.
Thanks.

OK, you are using different SMTP servers for each account and switching to IP addresses makes no difference.
For the connections you're using SSL/TLS and the Authentication Method is "Normal Password"? If so, you're using the standard port of 465?
And, just to confirm, on the first click you get a message that says "Time-out" (without details) almost immediately?
Yes, it would be nice if others were seeing this issue. :-)

Yes, good description. Let me attach the exact message I am getting, but yes I feel it is not checking anything...

Hummm.... I have basically the same setup for connections to gmail and yahoo mail servers and not seeing any issue. Have you, or could you, an account with one of those services to test?
I'm on F22 having done fedup to get here and running the stock T-bird from the Fedora repos.
I was thinking it could have been related to DNS, but changing to the IP address should have eliminated that as well as a potential IPv4/IPv6 issue....
Are you on a network internal to mail.cm17.com?

No.. cm17.com is in Chicago and I am in Cambodia now ;-)
I didn't understand what you requested though, do you want me to create a new account to see if it suffers from the same problem?
Thank you anyway, appreciate to have someone on the same time zone (almost).

Actually, I did figure that out from the headers.....but didn't want to expose it if you weren't comfortable with it.

Yes. If you don't have a gmail account you could consider to create one and test.

Yes, Taiwan is pretty close.

I got a similar error just now, except it was my SMTP server.. I get this message every time I start TB, only the first time I send something. and it sends quickly as soon as I hit OK & resend..
Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) andrea.asmallorange.com timed out. Try again.
+1 this also happens to me. first email once TB is started fails quickly. just hit resend & it goes. error message comes up, hit CTRL-ENTER & it sends right away.
So now that I have solved my screen problem I am having a weird annoying problem with Thunderbird which is failing (time out error, but very fast response) to send email on the first "send click" on every account. After that everything works as long as I don't restart TB.
