This would make it trivial to drop a new mail account into a user's existing configuration without knowledge of what might already be there, without messing up his other settings and without a graphical interface. This would be ideal for large-base installations and large helpdesks: "Settings? Just copy this file there and restart TB". Any number of applications employ this method, httpd/conf.d is just one example, Reproducible: Always
