            Bug ID: 323989
           Summary: Workflow for sending emails either A.) Later or B.)
                    Offline is terrible...
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.11
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

Sometimes I will have a thousand emails to deal with in my inbox.

I will want to quickly go through them, reply, delegate, move, etc.

Often times, I do not want to be connected to the Net, or if I am connected, do
not want to send "Right Away". This used to be easy and fluid. I could bind the
keystroke to "Send Later" and poof, done.

Now, however, like many things that used to work and be simple in Kmail, are
now broken and needlessly complex.

"Send Later" now forces me to deal with a dialog box that makes me select 

A.) "Put in Outbox (duh, this is what I wanted, so why can't I configure this
box?)
B.) Schedule it (to me, completely useless, but fine, give me a way to ditch
this)
C.) Cancel. (Cancel what? sending the message, editing the message?)

Putting kmail into "Offline" Mode just makes things more complex...

"Send Later" should REALLY be clear now, but it gives you yet another dialog
box to deal with, asking if you want to go online. Ok, fine, this gives you a
way to turn it off, but this now makes it two-layered...Scheduling the mail
will make me go online at that time? This would break the "Offline Mode" and
makes no sense.

Please give me some options to turn off all of this thinking for me!

"Offline" should be "Offline until I dang well want to go online".
"Send Later" should have an option to "Pop up annoying options dialog every
time I send later?"

I want this to be a fast workflow, and it used to be...now it is annoying and
slow, without the option to change it.

Reproducible: Always
