If you look at a mail client even like Thunderbird, which I'm using to write this mail. There are settings for: SMTP: specification of server, choice of authentication method, choice of security (SSL vs STARTTLS vs none), username and password. IMAP: specification of server, choice of authentication method, choice of security (SSL vs STARTTLS vs none), username and password. LDAP: specification of server(s), choice of authentication method, choice of security (SSL vs STARTTLS vs none), username and password.
Another way of dealing with that particular issue is autoconfiguration. Unfortunately there's no accepted standard for that yet, but we (Cologne University) support Microsoft's and Thunderbird's mechanisms. If you enter a @uni-koeln.de address in the new account wizard, all settings are filled in automatically.
