When you fx encounter a access denied error on a IMAP folder you're presented with a horrible javascript alert box saying something like: ------------------------ The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Adgang n [ Ok ] [ Cancel ] ------------------------ A much nicer dialog could be something like: ------------------------ Could not select the folder "Secret" on the IMAP server tarkin.ost.tele.dk. The server responded: Adgang nægtet [ Ok ] ------------------------
Yes that would be nice to have.

Same for POP3 connection errors. "Failed to connect to the server." doesn't really tell much. I have (only) 4 POP3 accounts and all of them have connectivity problems sometimes. It would be very nice to know which one failed.
I marking this as a dup of 100167 which has a patch in it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 100167 ***
