The master passphrase dialog only appears after the startup is
finished, and Claws Mail starts looking at which accounts need
updating. So by then it is too late to "cancel the startup". But I
understand your point - a way to request that Claws Mail stops any
network activity.

That, I think is conceptually incorrect to do in the master passphrase
dialog, since the dialog is used also in different contexts than
for network connections (e.g. if you merely open account preferences for
the first time). Perhaps something could be added to one of the
password dialogs instead, where it would make more sense.

In short term, it might be more practical to just disable mail checking
on start up, and just click 'Get Mail' manually instead. :)
