Bug Description
Binary package hint: mail-notification
I have the mail-notification applet running on my machine and properly configured. However, when logging in after a reboot, mail-notification will attempt to check the configured mailboxes immediately. Of course, when logging in the network manager is still in the process of acquiring a connection/IP.
Without a connection, the applet errors and begins blinking to indicate such. Right clicking on it and selecting 'update' once the network connection is up will make it stop that.
Either the applet should sleep/delay when there is no connection and it is not doing so, or it is checking but the check is faulty. I don't know which is the case. If this is not actually a bug, then it should probably be marked as 'wishlist' or similar.

Well my college is setup that you have to login through a portal (after connecting) to get to the net. During the time I am not "logged in," mail-notification causes high cpu usage. I am not sure this is the same problem I am experiencing. I'll create a new bug if not - just let me know.
