Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

when I erroneously attepmted to send an e-mail to a website instead of an e-mail address, I received the error message "error while performing operation".

I corrected the send address and my e-mail was received.

now, every time I click the send/receive button I receive the error message again. I also receive the error message "unsent e-mail" every time I close Evolution.

I looked at my inbox, my sent folder, and my trash folder to find the offending e-mail and delete it. the e-mail doesn't appear anywhere I look and the error message continues to appear.

I am using Evolution 2.10.1 onUbuntu 7.04 - the Feisty Fawn - released in April 2007.

please advise how to suppress the error message,
jerryE

I am also getting this.
I suspect it has something to do with trying to send using imap to a pop server.
Now that we have corrected the destination to be pop, the imap attempt is stuck in the outbox. (?maybe)
