Automatic Email Server Settings

[Del]

I think what he is aiming at is a feature request for the kdepim wizards for 
setting up gmail accounts. Thunderbird does include it, however resulting in 
POP rather than the more convenient imap. Regarding mobiles, quite naturally 
the Google sponsored Android support setting up gmail and google calendar with 
this simplicity (but no other server). Personally I wouldn't mind the kdepim 
wizard supporting gmail, but I haven't felt the need to contribute the patch 
yet ;-)

Cheers,
Del
