It means logging into the server failed, for some reason.
Make sure the server name, username, password, port, authentication method and TLS settings for the account are correct. Goto Tools (or O-Menu) -> mail and chat accounts -> select the account -> edit -> servers tab.
If fetching your mail normally works but does this off and on, it's probably the server having trouble and rejecting your connection for a second.
Is this with pop or IMAP? What email provider?
