1984372 - Display messages in the status bar while waiting for the server to respond

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: Exchange, task)

Description

[Brendan Abolivier [:babolivier]]

For a few operations (sync messages/folders, deleting messages, etc) we only show a status message when the remote operation finishes. On slow connections, this might make Thunderbird appear slow, or make it look like the operation has failed, because we might spend some time without visually doing anything. So we should show a message in the status bar to let the user know we're working.

Folder sync, message sync and message deletion were the only operations I could
find/think of that would benefit from a more responsive user feedback. The main
other one I thought of was message/folder copy/move but it looks like the
generic copy/move code already handles that.
