New Thunderbird user here - ended up on this Bug after enabling this setting desiring a more familiar sending experience where the actual sending of the message and filing into Sent is handled _ascynchronously_. However, after a few days of use, I noticed that although mail was sent for the first little while after starting up the application, eventually it would stop sending messages. Only solution was to toggle online status, or restart the application at which point I'd be prompted to send out any unsent messages. Have turned the "send in background" feature flag back off and now mail is sending reliably as I compose each message.

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).
