I actually thought it would be useful to know, which account this applies to.
It could be used in "separate accounts counts display" mode, by replacing
numbers with letters (like P for "wrong Password, N for inability to reach the
remote host (Net down), R for "connection Refused (pop3 service down), X for
"other errors" (like non-pop3 service on given port), etc. Also, using "-"
instead of "0" would be much better readable as "no messages")
*grin* This way all the net admins here get a wonderful net monitoring utility
free :) Just watch for "R"unning change to "N"et down :)

Yes. :) Although from what I know, nowadays POP3 took over the "market" and
IMAP+SSL is rare enough that we don't need to worry much about it. Somebody
correct me if I'm wrong.
