Bug Description
When something goes wrong, Postler needs to give error message with user-friendly language. Users need to feel like they know what's going wrong and be able to fix it, if reasonable.
"Failed to send message. authentication failed (method PLAIN)"
This needs proper capitalization, and what is "method PLAIN?"
"Failed to send message. cannot locate host smtp.gmail.com: Name or service not known"
Again, capitalization, and what does "locate host smtp.gmail.com" mean? What does locating a host mean, and what is smtp? And how can Postler not know what an email service is?

Maybe a disclosure triangle with "Advanced" can be added to hide technical language.
