we need to add to our account setup and account wizard ui to allow users to
enter non-default ports for pop,nntp,imap server NOT on the default ports.

obviously, there is some backend work that needs to be done here.

in addition, we have to make it so when you migrate from 4.x this gets info gets
migrated properly
I vote for post-PR1 :)
The wizard should not have the port settings, as we're trying to keep that as
simple as possible. But it definately needs to go into the account setup pane.

I'll implement the protocol back end support for this Alec. Just ping me when
you go to work on it and I'll help out.

attaching a patch for IMAP port support and adding pav to CC because he cares

we still need to add support for protocol-type port defaults so we don't have to
hardcode it in every port... this will be added to nsIMsgProtocolInfo, like
defaultLocalPath is.
oops, this is already in nsIProtocolHandler, we should leverage that.
r=mscott in case you needed a review.
ok, the IMAP port support has gone in.

Adding nbaca as qa contact to check the UI implementation.

The original description only mentions POP, IMAP and NNTP. We also need to have
user-selectable ports for SMTP. This would get us a functional, if not
beautiful, implementation of Message Submission Protocol (see bug 2679)
mass moving to M18 and adding nsbeta3 keyword

this is probably pretty close to done. I'm quite sure it works on POP and almost 
as certain that it works on IMAP. dunno 'bout news
oh my god, this is old. This is already in for beta2.

The UI ports are there and accept different numeric port settings.
Alec: I don't see an SMTP port setting, should it be there?
oh yeah, I totally forgot about SMTP - yeah, I guess there should be
let's do a different bug
I don't think SMTP on multiple ports is really important for ns6 though, so I'll 
future that bug when you file it :)
