Yeah, that would be useful. Would it be possible to have the
CamelException id and message passed through?

What made the error particularly annoying to track down was that the
Camel error occurred somewhat before Tinymail reported the problem
(during account initialisation vs the first attempt to use the account
object), so it took a bit of wading through Tiny's guts to work out
where the problem was actually occurring.

It would be nice if Tinymail reported the Camel error as soon as it
happened, rather than much later. TnyCamelStoreAccount's CamelException
instance seems to get cleared at a number of points in the code, so I
wonder if not reporting the Camel error immediately would lead to the
wrong information being coerced into a TnyError.
