Problem you are trying to solve
I use multiple mailboxes from one provider whose configuration is not automatically filled in. Despite adding several mailboxes, I have to fill in the same data every time.
Suggested solution
The application should remember the configurations filled in manually by the user, so that the user does not have to re-enter them every time.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the manual provider-configuration flow and the code that saves or loads mailbox setup; determine how repeated mailboxes from the same provider can reuse manually entered values. Done means a later mailbox setup for that provider no longer requires re-entering the same configuration.
