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..)
