Currently, the ActiveSync settings card (where you'd enter the hostname) doesn't open at all. This will be resolved by #4997, but once that's done, we'll need some further changes. After #4997, I'll be storing the hostname in `connInfo.server`. I didn't use `hostname` because I also store the protocol (so it looks like "https://m.hotmail.com"). As far as I can tell, port doesn't matter for us, so we'll probably want a single field for the server. I think we could also strip the https:// off and just show the domain name.

We always want an encrypted connection, so unless the servers start supporting SPDY, yeah, I think we can ignore the protocol.  We should have the settings UI card potentially predicate based on the server's type as to what details it should show on that card.  Right now IMAP and SMTP can use the same thing (which is what is assumed now.)

@dominickuo did the most recent settings update, so you might want to talk with him about that.  I had had him create separate Card impementations for credentials and the IMAP/SMTP info; I think we'll just want another card type for that too.  (I was torn between that and a generic binding, but I've been leaning towards explicit-even-at-the-cost-of-a-little copy-and-paste as of late, as I think it's easier for other people to understand things.)

Hotmail accounts are working fine for a long time now, so I guess this is solved. At least is working fine with Gecko-cb6ee76 Gaia-16006ea. Closing as worksforme.
