In my experience, sending email in Thunderbird takes an average of 5 seconds or more with just a popup "sending" sitting there. Why not put it in background processes like the other email clients.
- SahAssar 4y agoI like that. I hate optimistic UIs that tell me something has happened when it clearly is just on a queue somewhere.
- geokon 4y agoI've never seen this implemented in a way that isnt confusing. It goes to some "Outbox" and you no longer understand why it stuck there and how often it's retrying. You can also have weird failure modes where the mail is sent but not saved to the Sent folder. This is also not obvious to display in a background process But.. it seems like a solveable problem..
- ashwagary 4y agoI prefer email sitting in the outbox for a short period of time before send/receive completes, it has saved me from mistakes enough times that it is worth the delay.
- lawgimenez 4y agoThis is what the Mail app in macOS does. Disappear in background, outbox for the moment and let me compose another email.
