An idea that came into my mind upon seeing this is like that: the CC would
get "on top" with manual checking of mail, but stay "on bottom" with
periodical checks. Additionally, it would REMAIN open (even if all its
tasks were already finished/killed) if there was an error in any of them.
This would, then, be a good place to add a behaviour so that an "errored"
account would NOT disappear from the CC, but instead remain there to be
inspected.
Precisely:
1. If it's a manual check
-> get the CC on top
-> otherwise leave it in the background
2. Download mail, as usual
3. For all accounts that have completed successfully
-> remove them from the list
4. For all accounts that have ended in errors
-> mark as "ERROR!", leave on the list
5. If any account is still downloading
-> go to 3.
-> otherwise go to 6.
6. Execute "disconnect when done" if this option is checked
7. If any account has an "ERROR!" mark
-> leave the CC open
-> otherwise close it
