However, after the account is created the "Use Authentication" checkbox on the SMTP configuration is checked.  I dug through the code for a while and came up with this line which appears to ALWAYS set the "Use Authentication" flag to true if the account is not NNTP.  Since my account is IMAP, I'm screwed.

I think this code needs to be reviewed and changed to reflect the desired ISP provided value.

== Expected ==
The ISP direction for whether or not to use SMTP authentication is respected.

== Actual ==
It isn't.

Obsolete?

Yep, very likely - this seems to refer to UI elements that no longer exist (and the autoconfig format doesn't look like this anymore).
