Bug#710831: gnome-online-accounts: Doesn't support non-standard SMTP ports

Package: gnome-online-accounts
Version: 3.8.2-1
Severity: normal

While adding a new account of "IMAP and SMTP" type, the following option is
shown:
Encryption: {none | STARTTLS after connecting | SSL on a dedicated port}
Not only its wording may falsely suggest the ability to choose an arbitrary
port (despite its intent to opposite how TLS encrypts an existing plaintext
connection), but more generally it's absolutely impossible to manually select a
port, not even after a significant time required for the attempt to time out.

Being therefore unable to add my SMTP server, I would like to request an option
to manually select a port.
