Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it does not work: it seems to 
try to do something, then says that there is a network problem and that 
it cannot access the server. The weird thing is that it does not even 
try: there is nothing in the log showing that it tries to log in.

I tried that, and it did not work. I guess Mail.app must be trying to 
resolve some name (that is not localhost), and failing somehow.
