Interval mail checking makes sense only when your mail server is reachable, the \
password is ok, etc, i.e. when it's known to succeed. It's a convenience background \
job after all.   
 If automatic mail checking fails, it will give you an annoying error message every n \
minutes. The user will think something like "Hell, I KNOW you can't reach my mail \
server, 'cause I happen to be offline right now. But I don't want to disable the \
feature because usually I'm online." The expected behavior is to pop up an error only \
once saying "Error X while checking for mail on account Y. Now disabling automatic \
mail checking until you restart KMail or a manual check is successul."   
 As a side note, it would also be nice, if accounts on which the user hits cancel on \
the password dialog would be excluded, too. \
