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

@SilverGreen93
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.
-
@edwardp Great! So this is the reason it blocks Vivaldi as well.
-
@SilverGreen93 I think what's happening here, is that when you're sending it through Gmail, it's being blocked on the Gmail side, resulting in the message you are seeing in the Vivaldi Mail client.

Yes, but now the message seems stuck somewhere in Vivaldi's outbox, as I cannot get rid of the error even if I delete all copies of the email in Gmail's folders.
-
@SilverGreen93 Where the message likely is located, is in the All Messages/Outbox folder.
In the Mail settings, go to Mail Panel Order and Visibility. There will be a checkbox for All Messages. Select that if it is not checked.
Then open your Mail web panel, at the top, you will see All Messages. Open/Extend that if it is not. There will be an Outbox folder. It can be deleted from there.

@edwardp Thank you very much, Edward!
This was it! The message was stuck there in the Outbox folder. I deleted the message, restarted Vivaldi and now there error is no more!I never new the All messages section can be expanded to show more folders beneath. I search for that Outbox folder my entire (Vivaldi) life and never knew it was there, just hidden under the All messages section. My God!

@SilverGreen93 You're welcome. Enjoy Vivaldi!
