definitely true and very annoying. It happened to me while adding a "connected" IMAP \
account and choosing the wrong password exchange method. The silly window would popup \
continuously and I couldn't return to the settings dialogue to perform the change; I \
had to exit the application several times in order to change the setting to the \
correct form. This bug is a real showstopper and extremely annoying.

I heartly suggest to either:
a) set a retry count (and show how many retries are left)
b) Better still: change the buttons to "Retry", "Remain disconnected" and actually \
_stop_ the imap thread until the user decides to retry again (say like in Apple \
Mail.app)
