Hi all,

attached is a patch implementing the automatic sending in background feature.  
This includes
- a new configuration option, pretty much like the periodic check for incoming 
messages
- parallel transmission to multiple SMTP servers in separate threads
- a new progress dialogue, showing the operation of one or more connections 
which are faded in or out
- some re-factoring of the send functions.

Basically, the function is:
- When the user sends a message (see libbalsa_message_send), the timer is 
stopped and it is transmitted immediately unless a send operation to the 
particular server is already active.  In the latter case, an atomic flag is set 
to immediately send the message when the previos operation has been finished.
- When the user queues a message (see libbalsa_message_queue), the send timer 
is re-started.
- Sending the queue (see libbalsa_process_queue) counts the ready-to-send message in the 
outbox, and launches the "real" send operation for all smtp servers which are 
not occupied.
- When the auto-send timer expires, basically libbalsa_process_queue() is 
called, but without showing the progress dialogue.  A notification is displayed 
instead.
- If the progress dialogue is hidden the final message is displayed as 
notification.

A possible extension which should be somewhat easy to implement could be an 
automatic trigger of the timer callback (in an idle or a timer callback) if the 
network comes up.

As always, additional testing and reviewing as well as any feedback will be 
highly appreciated!

As always, thanks for all the effort that went into the patch! Builds and works 
for me, though I haven't yet had a chance to test delayed sending with multiple 
SMTP servers.

Pushed to master, to get wider testing…

Best,

Peter
