Automatic configuration
ProfiMail will attempt to automatically detect mail settings in this order:
- Mozilla autoconfiguration – settings stored on your mail server, or in Mozilla database.
- Detection by probing mail server and trying to log in, using provided email address and password.
IMAP protocol is preferred over POP3 in auto-detection. See also IMAP vs POP3.
