I agree with you (almost). (-:  

1.  There is no "send queued" mail on the toolbar (because there is no icon 
for it yet.).  So either a person has to know to bind a key to "Send Queued"
or use the Menubar.  If the function is only on the Outbox folder, then it 
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 
queued.  And I think this creates some confusion for people (as seen by 
recent discussions here.)   Some mail applications (e.g., Pegasus), allow one 
to queue messages, and then selectively send some of them off.   They get 
surprised with Kmail, because it is possible to select a single message in 
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 
a single message.  And that is a problem.

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

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