Preselected IMAP server(s)

One thing that the old 'accounts' plugin had which was pretty nice was a preconfigured list of servers. Many of my users are clueless about server hostname, port, security settings etc (and I can't blame them :)). so it would be a nice thing to have if they could simply use a pulldown menu to select a preconfigured server from a list.

That old plugin had a configuration file with a section for these servers like this which specified IMAP and SMTP server for that account:

$config['accounts_hosts'] = array(
  "MyMailServer" => "ssl://mail.example.com:993|tls://mail.example.com",
  'Google Mail' => 'ssl://imap.gmail.com:993|ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465',
);
