Here's my discussion with Thomas about r4397 change. What do you think? Another example of this "issue" is when you move a lot of messages to some folder and when you select other folder before the copying finishes. It this case "Copying messages..." is replaced by "Loading..." (before the copying finishes). So, I see two solutions:
- revert the change
- use "Loading..." everywhere instead of specific message like
"Copying..." etc.

I fill this is wrong. For example, when you click "check recent" loading message with "checkingmail" label is displayed. Then, before this message disapears, open a message. This makes that "checkingmail" message is replaced by "loading" message. I'd like to see both. That's why the whole label was used as an index of this.messages hash.
I just made the experience that a confirmation message and two loading messages cluttered my screen. From a user perspecitive it's important to see all confirmations but if something is loading it's not necessarily important to me what is loaded. I just need to know that there's something going on and that I have to wait.
Not sure if my arguments can convice you, it's just my opinion... Feel free to ask more people about this topic.
Greetings, Thomas

and about use modal message to force user to wait?

I guess reverting the change would be better. There isn't much "loading" in a copy procedure.
Another idea: how about "stacking" those messages internally, but only showing the last one? In your particular case, it would look like this: DND action → "Copying..." Folder change → "Loading..." Folder loaded → "Copying..." Copying finished → ""

I think this would be a good compromise. Harder to implement, but not impossible ;)
Just brainstorming.. what about adding them underneath eachother as is now, but keeping the actual screen real estate the same. So if you have 2 messages, they're each half the size, 3 messages, a third the size, etc. And then if one finishes, all the boxes resize.

No. We could join "loading" messages and display them in one "loading" box, but I like Rimas' idea more.

+1
this sounds like a very good compromise.
