Now that the new notification framework is in progress, two notifications could be issued if the evolution main window does not exist. One should say "your message is being sent, do not power off or log out until the message is sent" or something more user friendly but similar, and the other one should inform the user of failure or success of the message. In case of failure, the user should be instructed to open evolution and click on send/receive.
Indeed the first notification should be issued only if some seconds passed without completing the pending operation, while the second one should be always be displayed. The printing system does something similar. And, btw, sending an e-mail and printing are very similar in spirit: I am sending data outside the pc so I need to know when I finished to power off the machine. -- When invoked from nautilus-sendto, evolution should show the progress dialog for sending the message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84269 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
