I have one major problem with PM right now.  If, for some reason, a
message cannot be sent, it blocks the whole queue.  When I have my
connection settings set to send email immediately, and when I click
SEND, if PM is not going to actually send it, it should put some warning
dialog up in my face to let me know that it did not do what I wanted it to!

I have to use VPN's to send mail on some accounts, quite often I get a
case where I try to send a mail and it cannot connect to the server when
I try to send, because the VPN is down.  OK, it gives me a warning.  No
problem.  Sometimes it just has to wait until I can get the VPN up.
However, if I try to send mail on a different account later, while the
VPN mail is still in the queue, the new mail is not sent, and no warning.

So, this should be simple..

If a given message CAN be sent, send it.  Dont wait because some other
message on a different account cannot be sent.

If for any reason, it does not send a message, let the user know.

It might be nice to set up a reminder as a user option..   i.e. " I have
been unable to send 3 outgoing messages for the last hour, please check
your connection" or whatever.

As it is right now, I can get to the end of the day and then find that I
have a dozen out going messages stacked up.

Sorry about the rant.. maybe there is already some workaround for this
that I have not found... but its been a big problem for me a few times.
