Annoying bug found in Palm’s WebOS Mail application
Yesterday my boss was out for the day and while he was out he was trying to be responsive to e-mails that he received. When he would reply to an e-mail it would tell him there was a problem sending the e-mail and put it in his out box.
Today he realized that he did not have his account authentication settings set properly in his phone. He set them all as they should be and went to his out box. He would hit the refresh button and it would continue to give him the error that it was unable to send the emails. This time it started complaining about the password being incorrect. He checked the mail server and used Wire Shark to watch the TCP activity. When his email application on the phone would say that authentication failed there was actually no communication with the mail server.
it seems that if you build up 5-6 messages in your out box you cannot hit refresh to send all of the messages. You have to individually tap on each message in your outbox and hit send in order to get it to sent the message.
Let's hope that Palm fixes this issue in their mail application. While you are at it Palm, can we get a way to delete more than one email message at a time???
