Details

Many large mail hosting services have well known mail server names and ports.  TB should know about these services.  When a user types in his/her email address, TB would look up the domain and if it was a well known one, all the POP, IMAP, and SMTP servers and ports would be pre-filled.  Even better, the client could do a test send and receive, and if successful the user would never need to see all that technical jargon.
