This very nice feature is IMHO not very well designed from the interface side. Upon creating new account you have to select "I have account on this server". This is unneeded -- I believe the feature should work automatically without any new option to be selected -- this only causes confusion: "what is the difference between this and that option"? No. That's wrong. The Bat should determine default settings solely based on email address given. Note, that the address makes up all the information needed for this feature to work -- no other actions on user side should be necessary! Also note, that in those rare cases, where user needs different settings than the ones proposed by TB!, he can just type them in, ignoring proposed defaults -- just as simple as that. Not that I could imagine a reason to do so, except when a provider changes his settings for mail retrieval, which is by design a rare action, and causes lots of pain to everybody anyway. I suppose, that when this feature is mature and tested, the format of the file will be presented by the developers, so that everybody can create custom dsi files. Another thing: settings file for gmail seems to be wrong. It sets APOP MD5 authorization for POP3, when it should be left "regular" for gmail to work (tested on my own account). In gmail.dsi file change "APOP=true" into "APOP=false".
