#7 Suppress errors and dialogs

[Anonymous]

My Mail.app ideally should check for incoming mail unattended. However, this plugin is holding up the client when it encounters errors.

Is it possible to disable error notifications and dialogs and have plugin to skip an account? When those errors popup, Mail.app bounces incessantly in dock, and it will not skip to the next account or operation, thus holding Mail.app up until I check-off the error message.

Thanks.

I would also like to see error suppression. In my
experience, almost all error dialogs are just problems with
that specific attempt to get new mail.

In Panther Mail.app, other accounts that fail a connection
are given the caution icon (exclamation point inside of a
triangle) next to the mailbox. Clicking on that gives
information of the error and a button to try the connection
again. httpmail should use this convention for errors,
since the dialog box prevents Mail from doing anything else.

Furthermore, in every case except one (when Hotmail itself
was down), httpmail successfully connected to Hotmail after
throwing an error. Almost every error is just for a single
connection, and could be safely ignored.

Perhaps, after encountering an error, httpmail could wait a
few seconds and try the connection again. Then, only after
failing the second time, would the account receive the
caution icon next to its mailbox; no dialog at all.
