First I'd better answer myself that there is a previous discussion on
the topic:

I'm reading mail with IMAP through SSH. When my laptop wakeup from
suspend I have to setup these tunnels before I can read mail. If
Evolution tries to check mails before that I get annoying and
uneccessary "could not connect" messages.

Previously I also had suspicious problems with IMAP inconsistency that I
never could reproduce good enough to file a bug report for, but
suspected that failing and then succeeding connections were a part in
that. But I digress...
