That's not useful if you have several sets of credentials on a
particular server. For example, two or more IMAP accounts on one
server, or multiple POP drops. I use a POP proxy, which makes this
scenario more likely (though ATM I only access one account through
it).
Adding server names to mail-sources sounds a better bet to me.
