Agreed.  Perhaps adding a "(optionnal)" tool-tip message?

Same is true, a tooltip or auto-complete with what you username maybe based on
your email would be nice.

Under evolution I manually entered my "autodiscover" URL then hit get URL and
it fills up the URL OAB field automatically.

In this case I manually entered the EWS URL and hit Try connect.. Which i found
simpler to evolution as the user don't really care about the underlying UUID
type OAB URL.  Although a connection successful may be appropriate?  It ended
up not adding any folder within kmail for the new account (maybie a bug related
to kmail and totally unrelated to your new feature, will further investigate?).
 Although from the subscription tab I can select my various folders and as
well, it says "ready" under it in the reception tab.

It's sad that it blocks over tiny details as I'd rather provide you with
comments on the real stuff :)

I'll reinitiate my kmail config as it may have older configs stuck? and give it
another try.
