Bug: Mail will ONLY send from offline account

marlinus

6.8.3381.48 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit) on manjaro linux

Steps to reproduce:
Set up two IMAP accounts.
Send a mail to someone from account #1
Goto mail setting for account #1 -> tick "Take account offline"

Send a mail to someone from account #2.
-> The sender address of this mail is changed to account #1. The mail is stored in the sent-folder of account #1.

Goto mail setting -> Default Sender in new Messages
-> select account #2

Send a mail to someone from account #2.
-> The sender address of this mail is changed to account #1. The mail is stored in the sent-folder of account #1.

Goto mail setting -> Default Sender in new Messages
-> most recently used

Send a mail to someone from account #2.
-> The sender address of this mail is changed to account #1. The mail is stored in the sent-folder of account #1.

While account #1 is offline, Vivaldi mail insists on sending from that account!

Workaround: bring account #1 online, set default sender to most recently used, send a mail from account #2. Now the account #1 can be brought offline and still allow sending from account #2.

Hi, I cant reproduce this with snapshot 6.9 (Beta) build.
I have 5 accounts, send with the first, offline first, set to send with the second, work.
I am not sure if this is a bug in 6.8 and fixed now or for other reason.
If nobody else steps by and test this I can setup mail in Vivaldi 6.8 stable later today.

Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin,

Critical detail to reproduce this issue (in either stable or snapshot versions) is to:

Set the Default Sender in New Messages to that last shown in list, i.e. above Most Recently Used, as highlighted below:
Send new message; sender defaults to [email protected]
Select All Messages > Sent and confirm sender is [email protected] for message sent in previous step
Select Settings > Mail and then the last email account listed under Mail Accounts, i.e. [email protected] as highlighted below:
Select Identity tab and then Take Account Offline
Send new message; sender defaults to [email protected]
Select All Messages > Sent and confirm sender is [email protected] and not the expected [email protected]
NB recipient sees same.
