Right now the app is configured to pull the email server address to be tested from the ISP's INI file. I'm not testing to make sure that the mail software settings are configured correctly. I'm just pinging through to a predefined server address. In fact, I'm not even checking to see if the customer can connect to a POP3, IMAP, or SMTP port. Of course, checking email client settings wouldn't be a bad idea for a future release but I'd need some suggestions as to how to identify such settings given the diverse set of client applications. Ideas?

Just one question: where are you pulling the mail server ip address from? In our case, we can't assume our users are on the same software (outlook/windows mail).
