POP3 fetching isn't done in a thread, but in GTK's main loop using a state
machine.

The busy loop is the real bug. 

Is the server public ? I could investigate if so - apparently having an account
wouldn't be needed as the bugs happens on TLS negotiation.

By the way, thanks for your high quality bug reports :)
