Hmm, I wonder.

Yeah, it might not be that simple, another problem is that you probably want to
be able to send mail at the same time that you are receiving (a large or lots
of) mail in the background. So where are you going to put this progress bar,
there's already one in the main window (I guess you might not know this if you
haven't used a recent version of 1.1.x), and it's kinda silly to have two.

Perhaps a progress dialog in the status bar of the composer window used to
create the message in. You would only get progress for the current message
though, this would be in bytes sent/total bytes in this mail.

BFN,
Don.
