From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204 BuildID: 2002020406 It would be great if sending mail were asynchronous - ie you click send and the window vanishes straight away, and a thread runs off in the background sending your mail and updating your sent messages folder. Even on fast networks reverse DNS can slow SMTP servers down significantly which makes Mozilla appear much slower to end users. Saving mail to IMAP folders also takes time. I suspect this would not be too difficult to implement, and would make the browser much more attractive as a mail/news client. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Send mail 2. Observe progress bar instead of background sending Actual Results: Progress bar appeared, message takes upto 30sec to send. Expected Results: Message composition window vanishes immediately and I am notified later if there were delivery problems (perhaps when I close the browser). This may want to be an option, although it probably wants to be enabled by default.

sending is asynchronous today. You can go to another window and do whatever you want. We aren't blocking the UI at all. We used to hide the compose window and everyone hated it so we moved back to 4.x behavior and show you the compose window with the progress in front of it.

I'm changing this from WONTFIX to duplicate of bug 440794, because it's pretty clear that this is going to be fixed.
