[OSX-Users] Re: apple mail: not sending mail?

[m.c. schraefel]

here’s a note about the issue

http://osxdaily.com/2015/07/05/resolving-mail-problems-os-x-update/ <http://osxdaily.com/2015/07/05/resolving-mail-problems-os-x-update/>

the latest os x update was supposed to fix this - hasn’t.

Also, hugh, yes this has happened for me using PostBox as well…

but mail more so.

And narrative:

it completely hosed me back in May, when i’d sent a bunch of mails out - or so i thought - about dealing with revisions to the budget for a funding proposal
- only to find out from frantic emails from finance the next day they hadn’t received anything.

no big warning sign to show mail hasn’t gone out.

Mike - glad you haven’t experienced this.
