556885 - Cancel email sending

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Amoun]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.1
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.24

I would like a stop button, like on Firefox, to cancel emails that are being sent. 

Reasons:

I have used the wrong smtp server and the programme gets stuck
I am sending from the wrong account
I am sending to the wrong address
The message/attachement is too big, i'm on dial up,

etc.

Reproducible: Always

Doesn't it work to click the Cancel button in the send dialog, as seen here? (Note that if the button is not visible, or doesn't do what you want, that's probably because it's too late and Thunderbird has already finished sending the message.)

depends on Amoun's response to comment 1. Also, screen shots/clear description of what is seen in each of the 4 examples given would help.
