If you change this to POP3 and click "Go", than the incoming server could not be found. I've tested this with my web.de and my arcor.de account. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Complete the account informations and click the "Next" button. 2. Wait until the account informations are received 3. Click the "Edit" button and change "IMAP" to "POP3" 4. Click the "Go" button and wait. --> The incoming server doesn't change and you get the message "Could not automatically configure incoming server, still trying for outgoing server." 5. Type now in the incoming server by hand (under "receiving") and click "Go". --> Now you will get the "Your configuration details have been found!"

Huh, I thought we had a _userChangedIncomingHostname to match the ones for protocol/port/sockettype, but apparently I dreamed that.

Yeah, it looks like we don't have that variable because I don't think we have a way to re-try to guess the hostname without re-trying everything else. I'll add that functionality in, but it looks like this bug is going to take longer than I had originally hoped. (I'm mentioning this in case the drivers want to take it in to consideration when they're deciding on which bugs should be fixed for 3.0b4, as well as to find out if I'm missing something.) Thanks, Blake.

Yeah, I think I was tired when I wrote that last comment. I found a fairly straightforward way, I believe. Sure, I needed to keep around a little more info, but it didn't end up being that hard. Thanks, Blake.
