No, but surely sending is at least 10 times slower than receiving and notably slower than in other mail applications. Note I have a 100MB/s connection to my mail server. When sending mail do my Business partners ftp or http is not an option.

No. But the progress bar alone might do, not EVERY byte needs to be counted. I did not look at the code (would not understand it anyway), this is just the only thing I could think of.

Note also: one could send the mail in the background then the application doesn't have to be frozen!
