[Evolution] Bug#432980: evolution: sends each message in a separate SMTP session

Package: evolution
Version: 2.6.3-6etch1
Severity: minor

When offline, I sometimes accumulate messages in the outbox which are
waiting to be sent when I go online. However, Evolution sends each
message in a separate SMTP session, which is quite slow when using SMTP
AUTH and SSL/TLS.

It would be better to have an SMTP batch sender that would check if
there are further messages to be sent in the outbox when a message has
been successfully sent, and sends the next message in the already open
SMTP session.

Of course, things like several accounts with separate outgoing servers
etc. need to be considered.

Cheers,
