When you enter your email address, it would be TRIVIAL to check the MX records for the domain and fill those in for the SMTP and IMAP servers, allowing users to more easily add (if needed) the domain prefix.
Rightfully so. There is absolutely no guarantee that the server on the inbound (MX) record also handles outbound and/or IMAP. In many cases, these will be different systems.
There's no *guarantee* that any *other* guessing or discovery mechanism that comes built into any general-distribution MUA will be correct, either.
(Says the man who has to seriously beat even current versions of *Thunderbird* into accepting a manually-entered config and act as a test tool against the IMAPS servers we purpose-built and run for the appliances in the field. "How dare you NOT have an SMTP-out server for this account at all!" etc..)
