It is not possible to close the popup window or the application. After that the only thing you can do is to kill Thunderbird with the Task Manager. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Drag a message to another folder. 2. At the same time a popup window is shown. (eg. a warning concerning the connection to a server) Actual Results: Your're blocked and can't do anything. Clicking on the OK button won't close the popup window Expected Results: To have the ability to close the popup window and continue dragging the message. But I personnally think it would be better not to show warning messages like this whith a popup window. In Outlook, this is better done with a status window that you can close or open at any time. A message in the status bar could also show the status of the connections.
