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.
