Unfortunately, when creating the dummy account, Mail forces you to enter a server name. You can get around this by entering a name, quitting, and manually editing ~/Library -> Preferences -> com.apple.Mail.plist. Search for the tag under the dummy account, and in the field that follows, remove the dummy hostname so you have:
<key>Hostname</key>
<string></string>
with no characters between the tags. Relaunch Mail, and enjoy your error-free existence.
