Jan,  this is far from getting better.  I had to send this email via
Gmail directly because horde would refuse to send the email, no matter
how much I had trimmed it... I am beginning to believe the length of
the email has nothing (or very little) to do with the problem (see
below).  Attached is the horde log that was generated for an email
sent via the dynamic interface and that failed.  I hope the log will
help you pinpoint the problem.  I also tried as you suggested to send
from the traditional interface, and every thing seems to work without
apparent problems.

Somehow it seems to be related to the interface protocol...  I noticed
the red popup changes from time to time, with errors such as

"Failed to communicate with the server"
"The connection with the server has been lost"
"An error occured when communicating with the server"...

Please let me know if I can do more.
