        Hi,
there was added (in 3.13.x) an option Edit->Preferences->Composer 
preferences->Send messages through Outbox folder, which is off by 
default, from which I suppose you turned it on.

It currently behaves as you said, the message is just added into On 
This Computer/Outbox folder, but the actual send is not initiated. I 
think the checkbox should be extended with an extra option to:
   [ ] Send messages through Outbox folder [ OPTS   | v ]

where OPTS might contain options like:
   - Flush manually (current behaviour)
   - Flush immediately (previous behaviour)
   - Flush with 5+ messages
   - Flush with 10+ messages
   - Flush at [ HH:MM ]

while at least the last option corresponds to a feature request I 
vaguely recall from GNOME's bugzilla. There is no ETA for this new 
functionality, though.
        Bye,
        Milan
