This is an annoying bug more than anything. If Mail Watcher fails a DNS lookup ("Temporary failure in name resolution"), for example due to a wireless connection still in the process of being established, it will not recover after connectivity is restored. This occurs at least whenever the DNS lookup fails on Mail Watcher's first check attempt after starting. I have not tested if it will occur if a check fails for the same reason on a subsequent check. When this happens, Mail Watcher continues to generate the same "Temporary failure in name resolution" error in the log at every check even after an internet connection is made and Mail Watcher's log is cleared, never informing the user of new mail unless the plugin is removed and re-added. Arch Linux Xfce 4.6.2
