I haven't applied it (no time...)
But in general I don't like the idea of a "dial up" setting.
What should be the pupose of such a thing?

Better would perhaps be an online/ offline mode with a new setting in each 
server pref "check only when online" instead of the old "check mail from 
this server"
In that way you would also be able to handle queue and send immediately 
and things like that.
