Description
Steps to reproduce
- Click on Forward when you receive an email with an attachment.
- Write a message and add recipient addresses.
- Change the sender address to a different email account.
Notes:
- I don't know if it's necessary to have attachments, but it was in my case.
- Steps 2 and 3 can also be reversed, with the same result.
Expected behavior
Forward emails with a different sender address that has also been set up as a mailbox.
Actual behavior
- The message “Error saving draft” (de: "Fehler beim Speichern des Entwurfs") appears at the bottom left.
- The message can no longer be sent. Nothing happens when you click on the “Send” button.
