I've had to explain to people to remove the tick on certain internet
connections because they couldn't get any further than the folders menu
(usely due to a multi-homed cache/proxy).
It really only becomes a problem when people are accessing their mail
from a work LAN (or similar) instead of a dial-up account. The option
definately needs to be there to make it globally useful and secure when
possible.
