Hi,

all information about @mandic.com.br is available in more than 6 months ago in spreadsheet available in https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailServerList

But... autoconfig to @mandic.com.br is not working.

When I run Thunderbird 3B1 in Linux, I try config an account and I need insert ALL fields by hand (imap server, smtp server, etc).

Best regards,
Renato S. Yamane

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Decompress thunderbird (tar.bz2)
2. Open it
3. Select "Mail account" to creat it, and try config a @mandic.com.br account.
Actual Results:  
Autoconfig don't load mail server information, that is already available in MailServerList

Expected Results:  
Autoconfig need load all information about this mail server, that is available in http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=p49SW32nNYX0otkRc3UZUJA (from https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailServerList)

Autoconfig has not been put into any builds yet (beta or nightlies) as it is not ready. You probably want to watch bug 422814 but even then I'm not 100% sure we're using that list.

We don't generate configs from MailServerList yet. This is a server-side development and independent of checking in the code into Thunderbird.
