I get that same message a lot -- too much, in fact. I don't why it happens, but there is a temporary workaround. Click on *File* then *Send queued messages via* and choose your smtp email provider. (I have several choices, but mostly I use zoho.com, and, only rarely, gmail.) You may have to enter the password again for the tdewalletmanager. Now it ought to get sent; if not, try moving the unsent email from outbox into drafts, reopen it (as if you were editing a saved draft) then try sending again. Sometimes this happens for every email I try to send, for a few days on end, sometimes it's just a couple. And then -- with no obvious causes or explanations why it will or won't send -- everything goes back to normal. For myself, this has been going on for at least a year or two. It was really frustrating at first, but now it's just becoming a routine annoyance. Bill

Thanks. This is the first time I've seen this one, so I didn't know what to do. Merely going into outbox and sending it again seems to have worked; at least, I haven't gotten a message back after several minutes; the first time the message appeared in second(s). Leslie

My (now prior) e-mail I used on this list was under GMX (Germany) and I had major issues trying to get my e-mails to the list. mail.com is a U.S.-based sister company to GMX. A local Linux e-mail listserv I'm subscribed to, uses Mailman and I've been told by the listserv owner that it doesn't handle e-mail well from/to Yahoo/AOL addresses. Ed -- Linux.

I had similar issue and found out that it was matter of subscription. I suggest you unsubscribe and subscribe on trinitydesktop.org as explained here https://www.trinitydesktop.org/mailinglist.php of course it could be the provider, but in my case those mails were misleading

Since I switched the e-mail address on the list, at first, a few incoming e-mails from others on the list ended up in the account's Bulk Mail folder, but once moved from there to the Inbox, it's been fine since. -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience. TDE: R14.0.11-pre - Debian: 11 (amd64)
