Is a password failure a common error? Seems to happen to me a fair

I understand. I know you don't like hearing about other mail clients too
much, but Outlook just puts an error icon which you can then click on to
find out whats happening. Alternatively, what if the popup happens after
3 consecutive errors (this should give the server/network time to get
its act together), rather than being triggered by the first failure?
