If the option "Email.DisablePOP=true" is activated and a test does "GetEmail", an appropriate error message should be displayed

[Tatjana]

When the command line includes the option "Email.DisablePOP=true" and an automated test tries to retrieve an email, there is no correct error message why the test failed, just a standard message:

CHECKPOINT-FAIL testplan.auto.unit.email.GetEmail:getEmail for <email address hidden>

Please throw a correct error message like "EmailUtil is not running due to the following option <Email.DisablePOP=true>. You need to unset this option to get EmalUtil work" or something like that.

Many thanks!

The motivation is clear, but the implementation is tricky for a few reasons:
1. The email getting can be stopped during running and there still be emails available for GetEmail
2. There is an alternate path (top POP3) to feed emails into the system (an existing test-case would break with this change)
3. EmailUtil is a utility class that can't report extended information when an email is not present
