Ready-made lists for KMail to access different popular Mail-Services

Should KMail have ready-made lists with different popular Mail-Services, so the user just selects the Mail-Service (like GMail) he has and POP-Server and Port are automatically adjusted.
I'm asking this because I'm not quite shure whether it's a good idea.
Maybe the lists should be stored online to be updated easier.
Of course somebody has to collest the information about the Mail-Services, how the server is called, which port to use, which protocols are supported. Users of different services would have to collect this information.

I think it would make KMail easier at any rate for some people I know. +

Please write what you think about it.

The only issue with this is that thingfs change and certain firewalls make such configuration impossible. That being said a setup wizard would be good. However it must be intelligent enough to let the user know if there is a problem.
