The "lack of interest" by users is perhaps because most users don't know it's possible to do this. The lack of progress in a decade on the blocking bugs of course doesn't help.
ISTM we only need to fix a couple bugs to make this good enough to send out for wider testing. What do others think? Perhaps a good starting point is Bug 749654? Bad message in Outbox blocks delivery of remaining messages until dialog is dismissed Jonathan, how does Send Later deal with these issues?

In almost every case I move the focus away from that window and go to my INBOX. My recommendation would for the window to not show and to show this information in the status bar (similar to how it works in Evolution).
