Description
The following settings very rarely need to be changed and often confuse non-expert users:
- Client certificate
- Auto-detect IMAP namespace
- IMAP path prefix
- Use compression
- Send client ID
We could move these settings to a separate "advanced" section that is collapsed by default.

Review the current layout shown in the issue, then verify that these settings are grouped in a separate section collapsed by default while the remaining settings stay accessible.
