"Draft in process of saving, try again later" is back?

Problem reported by webmaster - 11/24/2020 at 11:47 AM

Resolved

I've been reading posts from back in July/August about this issue. Curtis had noted it was resolved in a custom build back then. We recently upgraded the software to 7619, until this update, we had never seen this issue before. Now getting reports from multiple customers about this issue. Here is a client report:

"This happened last week as a one off but has now happened several times today....I'm typing an email, autosave seems to happen, I go to send said email and it gives the warning as shown on the attached....I can't save it or send it - I have to copy the text and close out the email, open a new one, paste then send. Also, although it says it is saving as a draft - it does not :)"

Is this once again a known issue? Is there a way to fix or is another custom build in the works? Thank you.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Unfortunately, we have not had any luck trying to reproduce this issue. I understand that this issue is being reported by your customers, but would it be possible to get some more information about what is going on? I've listed some questions below that might help us figure out what is going on.

What browser and OS are they using?
About how long was the message being composed?
Was the window left inactive for any amount of time?

Thanks for the reply. I have spoken to a client and this is the information I was given.

Browser: Firefox

Length of message: a short reply to a message received in ongoing thread. Happens as new message as well, long or short.

Browser inactivity: Customer reports this happens if window is left inactive or not. Sometimes happens soon after starting a new message.

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry to hear your users are having this issue while composing emails in the interface. Unfortunately, this has been a tricky one to pin down since we haven't been able to replicate the behavior locally. If you have users currently experiencing this problem, please submit a support ticket for further review. In your support ticket, please provide as many of these details as possible:

Are there any other patterns you've seen or that your users have reported?
Which browser is the user using?
Does this happen when using a private/incognito browser? If it does not, please provide a list of the plugins/extensions the user has installed.
How many users on your server have reported this? Are they on the same domain?
Does this happen with new messages, replies and forwards?
how long do they have the compose window open before it occurs?
Do you have any user who can replicate this behavior on-demand, even it it's only after 10-15 minutes of trying? If so, we'd like to request they send some browser information using the Developer Tools window. If they open the dev tools for the compose window, they can choose to Preserve/Persist Logs for the Network and Console tabs. If they can then replicate the issue, we can review those logs to see what information can be found.

Thank you,

Just posting here to give everyone a quick update. I've been testing against these scenarios for the better part of a month now or so, but have had zero luck in getting it reproduced in house, which as you're all aware is half the battle!

I have tested this under Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and the Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge combination without luck, though it seems from these comments here that the majority of issues are affecting Firefox.

If you could all post extensions/addons installed in Firefox and an outline of the Firefox version this might help narrow down the root cause or at least point us in the right direction in getting the problem replicated for our development team. Thanks everyone, we hope to get to the bottom of this ASAP!

This is happening quite often on my wifes account. She even stopped reporting this to me. When this is happening she must copy her message to clipboard, close window with reply message, open reply message again and paste message from clipboard. I had here and there some similar reports but no one is complaining right now or they just stopped reporting it just like my wife :-). She is working on MacBook Pro M1 and Safari browser. How quickly after message is being started to be composed saving draft is occuring? As far as I remember when I experienced this kind of problem JS error came up quite fast which stripped whole new message window of any functionality (and thats why it must to be closed and opened again).

EDIT: Maybe we could have some kind of mechanism which will allow to disable draft saving as an admin or two fields how often draft is being saved and second one after how many minutes first draft should be saved. This could help narrowing problem to draft saving or excluding draft saving and maybe pointing it to editor or something else.

Sébastien Riccio Replied

1/24/2022 at 2:03 PM

We had a few reports of this. Most of them were using firefox. We checked if they had some extensions installed that could cause the issue but most of them had no extensions installed.

Some of these affected customers asked us to disable the automatic draft save function to avoid the issue as they find it very annoying as it completly defeat the purpose of automatic saves.

They often have to start over redacting their e-mail, if they don't paste it somewhere first as a backup.

I personally wasn't able to reproduce the issue and we got no real solution for the affected customers except asking them to try with another browser, which in some case helped.

Still it could be useful to allow the users to disable automatic drafts savings for this reason and some other reasons.

I've had Firefox running for 36 hours with a compose window open and didn't make any changes in the window for hours, added attachments, changed text and more. I found a small bug that could orphan a draft, but could not duplicate this issue. We have a lot of hours into trying to find this so PLEASE let us know if you can reproduce. We are also adding a setting for people who do not want auto-saves.... which can also be used to see if it helps this situation.

With Firefox having less than 4% of the market share and every complaint being Firefox with a handful of (I think they also tried another browser) which has been said maybe a half dozen times, this looks like its all Firefox and where we are spending our time. Trying to find a "maybe" in the 96% of the market doesn't seem like time well spent.

That is an interesting observation William, hopefully this is something the other affected users can take a look for us as well. I've done all of my testing on newly created (non-EAS accounts) and my own (EAS and MAPI enabled) but have been unable to reproduce thus far. Personally I believe there is likely a client-side component to it that we're missing in our testing here.

Some of the same causes on that one can lead to session issues that cause draft saving problems in the long run! In the meantime I'm going to get some testing set up with Zach to see if we can reproduce this under a single account with multiple points of access.

On that note; do you know if all of the users accessing these mailboxes might be across different timezones? I suspect the session issue date/timing might be to blame there, so that is where I'm going to do a bit of focused testing as well.

I've had this issue for several years now. Happens maybe once for every 10 emails I send. I use Firefox with LastPass. I've had it happen on multiple different computers over the years and many different versions of SmarterMail.

Today, when it happened, I brought up developer tools and I noticed there was no activity in the Network tab or Error Console when I hit Send. I was very surprised by that. I expected an attempted POST but there was none. But then I noticed there was no network activity when I type in different names in the TO field and I, as a web developer, am confused by that. How is it loading the suggestions without pulling from the server?

Time zone and time on my server and laptop are the same.

To me, time doesn't seem to matter. I've noticed the Saving Draft will get stuck on the first attempt and then it is blocked for all time from then on.

I just tried to replicate it 8 times with no luck but I did see there was consistently an error in the Error Console for all those messages where it did work fine:

Content Security Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at eval (“script-src”). angular-v-100.0.8552.30682.8db62ec08a6a500.js:1295:6

Hello Everyone,

It looks like we found a potential fix for this issue. Working together with the developers we found that it seems Firefox loads a little bit slower than other browsers. So if you start typing as soon as the window appears the draft may fail to send or save the draft. We found that this happens more often on long reply chains. This is because the text is in the wrong place which can cause the HTML parser to throw an exception. I will let you know when we have a fix in place.
