Emails do not always get posted from Outbox

I just realised I have several emails I wrote on my Jolla, but which are just sitting in my Outbox. I am not exactly sure of the circumstances for when I wrote them, but perhaps it was in areas of low connectivity, or on a flight. In any case they have been there for weeks, without me even knowing they never got sent.

I tested by turning on flight mode and then writing an email. An unclear popup appears, telling me about flight mode, which I dismiss (somewhat annoying). When I turn off flight mode, the email did get sent. I thus do not know what caused those particular emails to not ever get sent, even on reconnect, but that indeed is what seems to have happened.

What is even more frustrating is that there is no way to now send them. If I open one of them up, I can reply or forward them, but not 'try again'. I'll probably create a separate issue for that.

This is quite a worrying situation as those emails were somewhat important. The assumption is that if you write an email, even offline, it will get sent when back online or, at the very latest, when an update is done. Do others have a similar situation?

Edited to mention my email provider is Gmail, in case it matters.
