Dear Maintainer,

On the auto-detecting create account dialog, the servers display like the attached screenshot.

Note that although IMAP is a drop-down, the fact that the server name starts with . implies that the overall server is:

IMAP.test.com

For my real account, it didn't work, so I had to click Advanced config.

However, this really puts .test.com in the Server Name (which obviously would never work), rather than imap.test.com (which the GUI implies, and could work).

A screenshot is http://i.imgur.com/zDqW0.png .

The same also applies to SMTP, except that is not a drop-down.
