Comment 29 for bug 24220

fixed on trunk, thx, Christian.

It would be interesting to do similar auto-probing for imap and pop3, especially in conjunction with auto-discovery of SSL vs. normal port, and TLS, during account creation. I think I'd want to do it at account creation time, and probably set a flag on the url that says we're doing discovery, so we'd skip putting up error messages, and we'd remember if we connected via ssl or normal port, whether the server advertised secure auth, and/or TLS.
