Often I don't have internet and I need to be able to read, and write answers to emails without being online. If I write an email and click send, or save in drafts it cannot to so without me being online. It is the same whether I have IMAP or POP3 account setup.

The message is:

Sending Message Error Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) send.one.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

Search for instructions on "send later".

There are also extensions at addon.mozilla.org that can help.

I use tethering via my phone for Internet. Sometimes there is no connection. I need to be able to write emails while I am off-line and click send so they are saved in the outbox until I am on-line next time.

At the moment it is impossible, and if I restart my laptop or other I loose the emails I have written. At the moment to either save the mail in drafts or put it in the outbox, I have to be on-line...

Does anyone know what to do?? Kind rgds Joakim
