Better to avoid the mail_msg_wait_all() (infact you should never use this, if you need to wait for a specific thread, you need to use the seq id from the created message before you queue it.  But in this case, since you're creating your own 'job', just use the done callback.  If you need something to run after it is complete, in the gui thread, then you can put code in the "done" callback of the "mail ops" structure.
