Cannot send message for unknown reason - meaningless error message

[Michał Rudnicki]

Binary package hint: evolution

I can't send some messages to some recipients. I don't see any pattern in this behaviour, as some messages just won't come out giving me useless "Cannot send message" alert box.

Initially, I reported this bug in evolution-mapi project, but after all, it could be related to Evolution. See original post: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-mapi/+bug/532006

Packages:
- evolution 2.28.3-0ubuntu4
- evolution-mapi 0.28.2-0ubuntu1

Attached is example message that is causing problems.

Running evolution with CAMEL_DEBUG=all showed this when sending a message that fails:

CamelException.setv(0xb218d0c0, 303, 'Could not send message.')

Nothing special with the message. Sending the same message using another evolution account that has only the SMTP point...
