Hmmmm, maybe it's what I'd like too actually. However, the dialog
shouldn't show up then only because of an IMAP connection is running,
unless there's some real activity going on, like for example an
attachment being downloaded or some other IMAP activity that shows up
with a progress bar within the process window.

I just verified that the dialog *is* respected when such a connection is
going on.
Hmmm, maybe this is a price that have to be paid then for getting this
dialog when there's something being done on the account that needs
completing. However, it's not the ideal. The ideal would be I think that
after the user quits the application:

1. an IMAPconnection is active but without specific process activity
beyond the connect: PowerMail quits without the dialog showing up at all.
?2. an IMAPconnection is active and there's some process running on the
IMAP account: the Quit Anyway/Abort dialog shows up and waits for user
interaction, or when the processes are completed it quits.

So it's only number 1 above that isn't working like I wish. It's a small
point in the whole, but it should be on a bug list because it is
actually bewildering behavior as the user may not know that there isn't
some important process running. I have no opinion on whether it should
be fixed however.
