General problem: not very robust with weak and intermittent internet connections

[bryan]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Thunderbird doesn't work very well from my laptop connecting to a third party e-mail provider (123together.com). Partially because of the high suck level of 123together and partially because my laptop is mobile and therefor constantly suspending and resuming.

The latest cost me probably 25 minutes plus another 10 minutes to report this bug and explain why I'm looking for a new IMAP e-mail client.

Composing mail, hit send. Status bar says "Connected to mx1.123together.com..." and the cylon bar at the bottom right is doing its thing. The compose window refreshes properly when I alt-tab to it, but none of the menus or buttons (or anything else) respond to clicks.

Sucks to be me. Please don't tell me how I should save to drafts every second.

Is this symptom reproducible in a TB 3.0 snapshot available in Fabien Tassin's ppa?

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Does this only happen with that webmail?

Does this happen with pop and IMAP?
