Mail status polling to workaround server lazyness

As discussed in http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3879, it was found that
Google Server spaces <new-mail> event of a fixed period of 60 seconds. This
leads to very bad user experience in Meego MyZone.

While this is a server design issue, we can workaround this issue by polling
the mail status during this 60 seconds period. See attached patch for propose
solution. With a fixed delay of 5 seconds, the overhead of this solution is 12
mail updates spread on a period of 60 seconds, after what the polling can stop
since new-mail are re-enabled on server side. Polling is indeed disabled if
nobody is subscribed to mail notification interface.
