I have found that the create account automatically option works quite well and even got my odd ports right. What it does from what I can tell is try some settings till it gets connected. otherwise, it gives up.

Furthermore, unless your SMTP and POP settings are real basic, you'll have to set them manually. I just leave it unchecked and fill out the info manually, that way, I know that it works properly the first time.
