--- Comment #21 from Christian Hesse <mail at earthworm.de> ---
Just testing the new auto-configuration code. First status I get is: "Failed."
This is because my server does not provide pop3 service, hence I add the
correct SRV records:

$ dig +short SRV _pop3._tcp.eworm.de
0 0 0 .
$ dig +short SRV _pop3s._tcp.eworm.de
0 0 0 .

RFC 6186 says this is a valid answer when the service is not available. Instead
of "Failed." we should give something like "Service POP3 not available.".
Additionally it could make sense to change to IMAP.

Even automatically selecting the protocol with higher priority would be
possible. See section 3.4 "Priority for Domain Preferences" [0] in RFC paper.
