We should move this warning into the Welcome dialog as another pane rather than pop-up a second warning dialog.

Currently only SMTP offers Encryption none (on port 25), while the IMAP settings offers only STARTLS or SSL/TLS. If I add a new Other account with SMTP set to Encryption none, Geary validates it and no warning appears. When I send an email, there's no warning about the missing encryption. Should Geary warn the user who decided (?) to use no encryption for SMTP connection? I don't know, I'll mark it as NEEDINFO.
I think this is still an issue - dialogs on dialogs are always a bad idea. Depending on Bug 714104 since that's affecting the Welcome dialog.
