           Summary: Akonadi shows too many "Could not authenticate"
                    dialogs

Draw attention to taskbar - all these windows are these dialog

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

I have disabled internet on my laptop.
First of all, akonadi thinks that "Socket operation timed out" means that
"server refused supplied username and password". It's totally wrong, because my
username and password are ok.
Secondly, akonadi shows such a dialog every 5 minutes (or time period like
that). My laptop was running KDE without internet for one night and after that
I saw near to 100 "Could not authenticate" dialogs. That is really bad.
Thirdly, there is no way to disable this dialog. If user press "Cancel", the
dialog will anyway appear after 5 minutes. There should be something like
checkbox "Don't show this message again".

IMAP resource has the same problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure Akonadi POP3/IMAP resource using right account.
2. Disable internet.
3. Wait some time.

Actual Results:  
Akonadi shows a "Could not authenticate dialog" with the reason "The server
refused the supplied username and password", and does it every 5 minutes.

Expected Results:  
Akonadi should show nothing (or a little notification with "Connection
problems" message)

I use Akonadi 1.4.90 with KDE SC 4.5.95 (aka RC2). Akonadi IMAP resource
configured for GMail.com account and Akonadi POP3 resource configured for
Mail.Ru account.
And see attached screenshot.
