Also claws might get a signal from (for example) network-manager if
there is a connection available to toggle its offline/online mode to
avoid unnecessary tries to connect to the mailserver while offline.

Or to change to polling rate if the device is on battery to conserve
power.

There are many reasons why a software might want to communicate things
to other running applications and the standard way of doing so has
become Dbus.
