Re: [Imap-protocol] Is OpenEmailSurvey open to share method or code?

Dear Joshua,

I'll have a look at Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration,
even if I go crazy when I configure a new account with Thunderbird,
it is always irrelevant for what I do, the manual way is first hidden,
maybe presented at the end or after a failure, a headache each time.

I won't start searching the imap hostname from the user login parameter.
I'll start by guessing server software name from the imap responses,
not from a third party scan, and from hard coded rules if possible.

A server that replied well to ID would have already announced itself
in the first banner. So, for my purpose, ID looks useful when useless.

But thanks to mention ID, I'll add it in imapsync, this way Gmail
and Outlook.com  will be able to know easily how many transfers are made
by imapsync each day (not difficult without ID anyway).
