Bug Description
Assume I have an email with four recipients, one of them invalid.
Evolution is configured to use SMTP to send email. Authentication is not required (LAN IP is sufficient on the SMTP server).
Now, during the SMTP dialog (as evidenced from Postfix logs), one of the recipients gets rejected with a 550 code, the other 3 get accepted with a 250 code.
BUG: Evolution
- DOES NOT display a pop-up requested displaying the faulty address
- DOES NOT display a hint in the status line displaying the faulty address
- DOES SILENTLY LEAVE the message in the outbox, clogging the entire outbox.
Expected behaviour:
- Evolution should display the server transcript, in particular, the rejected e-mail address, so that the user has a hint as to the problem, and can do something about it.

Evolution 2.32.2-0ubuntu7 in Mint11 64bit exhibits similar symptoms.
Works as expected when launched as Evolution.
When the Composer window is opened from Deskbar or as "Send Link" from Firefox or Epiphany, the email is not sent immediately but ends up sitting in the Outbox. To get it sent you have to open Evolution and hit "Send/Receive".
No error or warning messages display.
Not the expected behavior!
