I agree with you (almost). (-: =20

1.  There is no "send queued" mail on the toolbar (because there is no ic=
on=20
for it yet.).  So either a person has to know to bind a key to "Send Queu=
ed"
or use the Menubar.  If the function is only on the Outbox folder, then i=
t=20
will often mean having to move the mouse a long distance to the folder.
But with this method, it is very easy to send queued mail.

2.  I can understand your point  that it is not a single message that is=20
queued.  And I think this creates some confusion for people (as seen by=20
recent discussions here.)   Some mail applications (e.g., Pegasus), allow=
 one=20
to queue messages, and then selectively send some of them off.   They get=
=20
surprised with Kmail, because it is possible to select a single message i=
n=20
the outbox, but all of them get sent with "Send Queued" is used.

(Maybe it would be better to call the function "Send All Queued" )

I realize that the RMB also gives that impression that it is possible to =
send=20
a single message.  And that is a problem.

But maybe someone knows how to support selective queuing of messages, and=
=20
then it would be meaningful again.  (-:

(BTW, I have a direct connection, so I don't usually use "Send Queued", s=
o I=20
will leave these problems to someone else. (-: )
