So the thread-per-server model would be used both for user-initiated sends (such as File => Send queued mail) and for timer-initiated sends, but the progress information would be presented differently, is that right?
Yes, this is my idea. When the user selects "send" or "send queued", I think [s]he expects the dialogue to appear. For a background operation, a dialogue popping up seems too intrusive to me, therefore use the notification area in this case. An extra goody would be if we remember during a long-running transfer that the dialogue has been closed by the user, and then just emit the notification after it has been finished.
I like the outline, especially the single dialog with progress indicators dynamically added and removed. Smooth transitions would be really cool…
I just discovered that GtkRevealer provides exactly this, and hacked a little test application - looks really cool, will be the way I'll implement it. Sorry for the delay, but the simple task "just send in background" turned out to be a lot more complex than I first expected… Thanks, Albrecht.
