Humm, can you clarify what are you trying to do ?

Emails are associated with an account, so yes.

Not possible, passwords are stored in different database they can only 
be accessed via SSO apis.

I'm assuming you are running update2, right ?
Not having inbox means that the email app could not connect to the 
server to retrieve folder list, so you get a error message, how did you 
configured the account, via the UI or command line ?
What are the settings for your imap server ? port and encryption.
