I have multiple IMAP accounts in the same profile. A few of them have the same Server Name (localhost in my case, tunneling over ssh.) but they all have different ports.

When one of the ssh tunnels is down and I try to check mail on all accounts I get this error message with caption Alert: "Could not connect to mail server localhost; the connection was refused." without telling the name of the account that failed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two IMAP accounts using Server Name "localhost" but with different port numbers.
2. Establish ssh tunnels to two IMAP servers. Verify that "Get All New Messages" work.
3. Disconnect one of the ssh tunnels.
4. "Get All New Messages".
Actual Results:  
Error message with caption Alert: "Could not connect to mail server localhost; the connection was refused.".

Expected Results:  
Error message with caption Alert: "Could not connect to mail server localhost on account <account name>; the connection was refused."
