This is a "feature" of socket (network) programming in general. While the
mail is being sent, the task is put to sleep by bsdsocket.library until the
data has been sent. During this time, YAM can't listen to the MUI interface
and hence can't react to your mouse clicks, etc.
There are ways around this, one being to offload the MUI handling code to a
separate task which won't be frozen whilst sending email. Another is to
simply tell the program to sleep whilst listening to both the network and
the MUI interface.
Not hard to implement IMO, so may be worth an email to the authors.

Jay
