Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-04-19 10:39:15 UTC 
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/84065

"Binary package hint: evolution

When I send e-mail (especially with the nautilus-sendto plugin, but also in general in evolution) there is no feedback when it is "really" sent, i.e. when transfer is completed. Last week I made a mess at office for this reason - I closed evolution, went offline, I am not sure at all, but I found my message still in outbox and I thought to have sent it. If some visual feedback e.g. a small progressbar in the statusbar, could be shown after clicking on "send" this would help. This feedback should be given in a separate window if the main window does not exist, e.g. after "send to" in nautilus.
..."

I just look at the Outbox folder - if it looks like:

<b>Outbox (1)</b>

then I know it has messages in queue to send still, but if it looks like:

Outbox

then I know all my messages have been sent.


If I really care to see the progress, I can just click Send&Receive
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2007-04-19 20:04:02 UTC 
The bug submitter uses nautilus-sendto which calls "evolution mailto:email" so he doesn't get any shell window open and no outbox not send or receive to use
Comment 3 André Klapper 2012-02-17 19:54:33 UTC 
The sending progress is displayed in version 3.2.3 in the composer window on top of the message body.
Closing as FIXED.
