The above web pages document the format of the autoconfig URLs used by
Thunderbird.  I think that supporting this is quite important for Geary
because it's the only MUA in Debian suitable for use with phones and
typeing all the details on a phone is painful.  Also the Geary config
interface doesn't make it clear how to set those things up, the user just
has to know to put in domainname:port in the fields.
