Is there - and if not, should there be - a standard format for defining mail 
accounts?

Users have to re-enter mail account configurations with each mail client 
they use - POP/IMAP/SMTP servers, logins and passwords, e-mail addresses, 
etc.  Wouldn't it make more sense to have a standard mail account definition 
format that holds this information?  This way setting up accounts on a new 
mail client would be as simple as pointing it at a configuration file.
