When the evolution main window is visible, the behavior is as you described. First of all, let me clarify that I would dislike a dialog window, too. However, outbox can be not visible if the list of folder is long - and, believe me, mine is :) If I quit, ok I am warned. However if my network connection does not work well, or I suspend my laptop before sending the e-mail, it will not be sent. A progressbar in the statusbar of the main window would be not so bad, or some other "sensitive" feedback, e.g. the cancel button becoming red, something I can learn to observe and that is always in sight.
Anyways, I reported the bug mainly for nautilus-sendto, so feel free to reject this bug if you think things are nice as they are now, I'll open another one for the other issue. -- Evolution should give feedback when messages are sent https://launchpad.net/bugs/84065 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
