Email timeout

Hi Eugene,

I just recently upgraded to Trados 2021, so it maybe updated some package used by Business Manager, but now when I try to email invoices, the software times out. It says "Errors during sending: Operation has timed out." I'm at my brother's house for the holidays, so it could be related to changing Internet connections? However, I have a 200MBPS connection, so it shouldn't be.

If all else fails, I can send them via my email client, but I like sending the invoices through Business Manager.

Merry Christmas!

  • Hi Casey!

    Well, your version does not depend on Studio version. Indeed, in recent updates we've been working on e-mail sending mechanism, as for other users there was opposite situation - application could wait too long while e-mail is sending because of unresponsive email server. So, now wait time was set to 10 seconds. But since you have better connection, I doubt that 10 secs is not enough to send an invoice.. So, can you please tell: 1. It happens faster than 10 secs? 2. If you try again (maybe few times), message will be sent or you get same error all the time?

    And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
