Hide "sending message" dialog in Thunderbird

6

I don't want to see thunderbirds "sending message". It's too slow, I'd rather continue answering emails.

This can be easily done in config editor:

navigate to

Tools > Options > Advanced > Config Editor > "I'll be careful, I promise!"

then search for parameter

mailnews.show_send_progress

and change the value to false

then search for

mailnews.sendInBackground

and change the value to true

restart Thunderbird

voila! its gone

now it's just in the bottom of the screen - it takes just the same amount of time for me to wait until I can close the window. Maybe a workaround would be to set AHK to make ctrl+enter send a message and then hide the window? – user1603548 – 2014-07-08T11:00:10.863

2I have updated my answer according to your additional question. You will have to also set mailnews.sendInBackground to true – Art Gertner – 2014-07-08T11:09:39.777
