SUMMARY

The error dialog box keeps popping up after user select an operation

OBSERVED RESULT

I woke up found my computer flooded with "Server Authentication" error, because one of the imap server uses a wrong cert. 

I closed all the pop-up dialog box (tons of them), but it keeps popping up every 3 seconds. I can barely operate my PC. Quit KMail does not makes it go away. The best I can do is to leave it there, but it still pops up several times per hour. 

For the server cert error, I cannot fix it on my side and do not want to trust an unknown cert. I would like to keep my account offline until a retry is manually made some time later. 

EXPECTED RESULT

When displaying the server failure message, if the user choose "cancel", set the account to offline, do not prompt the same error again and again.
