The alert function that you need to implement in your account store,
will contain the error in one of the parameters.

There are signals for that in the TnySendQueue, if you send directly
using a TnyTransportAccount then the send function has an error instance
as last parameter.

This is atm not possible, Rob Taylor indicated that he's interesting in
experimenting with IMAP a little bit for this.

The same can be made to work with POP, btw. But neither on IMAP (in case
you lack the right capabilities) nor on POP can you be sure if you can
even sort this retrieval at all.

So it'll be a best-effort

There's an API for this in Camel and I think it's forwarded in
TnyCamelPOPStoreAccount or TnyCamelPOPFolder too.
