Bug Description
Using 5.4 for Fedora Core 10. Usually wireless connection starts after Mail Notification tries to contact the mail servers, so the try icon starts to blink due connection issues, that's ok, because there was no connection at the moment of checking email accounts, but the problem starts after the wireless connection is established, if I click the "Refresh" option to tell Mail Notification to try contact email servers again it does not responds, the try icon still blinking until it crashes. This problem found after upgrading to 5.4 version.
If I plug an ethernet cable with Internet before turn on computer Mail Notification works Ok. because Internet is available before first connect attemp.

I got the same thing, and I'm pretty sure you're right -- it occurs if it tries to check your folders before the wireless is settled. If you want an easy fix, it is possible to alter the startup command to make MN delay for a set amount of time before starting. This has worked perfectly for me.
In my startup command for MN I have:
sh -c "sleep 60; mail-notification --sm-disable" &
The sleep is the wait command. The number is in seconds, so change to anything you want. I'm not sure what the rest does, except that it works! At least in fedora, and presumably in ubuntu, since I got it from this forum:

Good luck!
