--- Comment #1 from Daniel Vrátil <dvratil at redhat.com> ---
There's no way to detect whether the hostname points to the same server after
change. If you had changed it to point to a completely different server,
fetching new emails would totally screw up the local cache. Therefore flushing
the cache and fetching all emails again is the only solution.

Secondary, this is not something you would be doing on a daily basis, so I
don't see this to be a real problem.

Sorry, this cannot be fixed, as it's not really a bug.
