The newer Windows Live Mail does this to some extent for the most
popular mail providers. You give it your email address, and you can
elect to have it configure the servers automatically. The problem is that
the server information goes out-of-date. For example, I gave it my
sbcglobal.net address, and it configured some old server settings that
were no longer valid.
