I think there are two different kinds of errors we could get while sending 
mail:

1) "Could not sent the mail you just wrote because you did XYZ wrong", e.g. 
selected invalid receivers, invalid crypto keys, etcs. Those probably should 
be message boxes since they require the user to fix something to proceed 
(usually in the composer itself, aborting the send/close action).

2) "Could not sent a mail because we are currently not connected to a 
network", ie. transient errors that will eventually go away. Those should be 
passive popups/notifications.

I'm not sure what kind of errors composerviewbase.cpp will emit exactly, I'd 
guess only the first one.
