Failed to sent message notification pops up every time I open Vivaldi

@SilverGreen93 The error message you quoted, sounds like a problem with the disk. It may be failing.
Of course it is NOT a problem with the disk
The problem started when I sent an email with an attached file. That file was blocked by Google or anti-virus software (can't remember exactly), then I deleted the failed e-mail and the file as well. So the file should not exist anymore, but Vivaldi still wants to read it. Can I see detailed info on what is it trying to read?
It might be internal to Vivaldi in a buffer/temp location?

@SilverGreen93 Submit a bug report here and post the bug report number (VB-xxxxxx) in this thread. Provide all relevant information, including the quoted error.
If it's not the disk, when the message was deleted, perhaps not all of it was.

Thanks! I reported the issue. I have number VB-103810.

Hi, we had ghost mails in the past but this was fixed some time ago.
Can you check if there are file(s) in your profile folder \Mail\pending or attached-pending?If yes, delete it or the whole folder.
The path to the profile is published in File > Help > AboutCheers, mib

I don't have any directory containing pending in my profile path

@SilverGreen93
Hm, if you had send a mail with an attachement the folder should be there, it is used until the mail is send.
Anyway, was just an idea.Cheers, mib

Just coming at this from the "I often fiddle with systems I'm not qualified to know about if I suspect there's a problem" perspective - maybe try creating that directory in case Vivaldi is trying to look there and can't.

Yeah, I would try that if I knew what Vivaldi was looking for...

Hi,
I did a profile reset and got rid of the error, but now I sent another email with an attachement and the error came back.
Now I know how to reproduce:- Have the Gmail account connected to the Mail service
- Create an email and add the following zip attachment from the below link: https://github.com/SilverGreen93/TZarchiver/releases/tag/v1.2
The file is a zipped executable file that Gmail will mark as a virus or unwanted/not permitted, so this is the key point of getting the error. - Send the email.
You will immediately get the [outbox]Failed to send: Failed to send message error.
In the Mail logs you can see:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENTNow every time you open Vivaldi you will get this error and I don't know how to get rid of it. I don't want to reset again my user profile.
Each time you reopen Vivaldi, a new copy of the email in the sent folder is created, with the same attachment.

Hi, I test this with a clean profile and get this error.20:11:46.028 error [Mail - outbox] Failed to send: Failed to send message: zip
Now I deleted the mail and restart Vivaldi, no error.
The mail is still in the trash bin.
Empty trash, restart, no error.
This is on Vivaldi 6.7.3329.41, Opensuse Linux.
I use IMAP with OAuth at gmail.com.So the error message is different and I use a clean profile, all default, no extensions.
You can report this to the bug tracker, maybe one of the mail developer can reproduce this or know what the error tell.Cheers, mib
-
@mib2berlin Looks to me that you got the same error as me.
Deleting the email does not help. It appears again in the sent mail folder.I already reported the initial problem as VB-103810. Is there any way to add the new details?
-
@SilverGreen93
I saw you added the information already, all fine.Cheers, mib
-
@mib2berlin If you were attempting to send a .zip file, could the recipient's mail server be blocking e-mails with .zip attachments?
-
@edwardp If I open the email from the Sent folder in Gmail online, it shows:
Anti-virus warning – 1 attachment contains a virus or blocked file. Downloading this attachment is disabled.
I think it's Gmail's fault here. Vivaldi just does not take care of the error gracefully. -
@edwardp
Yes but nobody does this, as you may know the most server block .doc and .exe files. -
@SilverGreen93
Interesting, can you add this to the report, please?
The error message is miss leading. -

Could the attachment in the message in the Sent folder, actually contain a virus?

Yes but nobody does this, as you may know the most server block .doc and .exe files.I'm aware of these two, along with .bin and .zip files.

No, no, the message is from Google's internal checks for attachments, not from a local anti-virus software. The file that I pointed out is created by me, it is open-source and virus-free.
You should get the same behaviour from Google if you attach it to an email. Try it out: https://github.com/SilverGreen93/TZarchiver/releases/tag/v1.2 -
If I attempt to send it using Gmail via the web, the attachment itself is blocked, cannot even send it.
