Is there a way I can get mailmate to stop showing a "smtp server"
error dialog when my VPN is not up
and just keep it in the outbound queue ?
I'm afraid not. What you need is some way to take SMTP offline like it
can be done for IMAP accounts or, maybe better, make SMTP quietly
retry (like IMAP). I'll give it some thought.
One of the few cases where an Apple Mail architectural choice was
uncommonly wise is loose binding between discrete SMTP/submission
servers and POP/IMAP accounts. Outbound mail servers are properly
independent of IMAP accounts, rather than appendages of them. That
principle may be a useful starting point for thought.
