Comment 34 for bug 119358

Supporting comment #25. However, ideally a solution for the next major release should extend the options for all three protocols (IMAP, POP, SMTP) in the Account Wizard.

Updating the special setup dialogs for Gmail's new IMAP access is handled in bug 400931 as an enhancement request. Given that many - if not most - providers require special port and encryption settings for their services, the issue goes well beyond Gmail. It seems more desirable though to have a solid generic setup interface than trying to provide separate ISP-specific "easy setup" dialogs.
