Provide Mail Client Settings for Users

I would like to provide the basic email settings users must have to connect to their accounts via client interface... I would like to collect the data via an API call. Reviewing API calls available, I can figure how to get _some_ of the information. I am aware of the default values: ==================== Username: full email address Password: Email Password Incoming Mail Server: mail.domainname.com Outgoing Mail Server: mail.domainname.com SMTP port: 25 or 587 (465 with SSL) POP3 port: 110 (995 with SSL) IMAP port: 143 (993 with SSL) SMTP authentication (My Outgoing SMTP server requires Authentication): Enabled ==================== Replacing "domainname.com" with your own domain name. And I can get the Username. I can set the password (and store the setting although I wont know current settings). I can associate the domain name (domainname.com), BUT: I wont know if the user changes mail server (the "mail" part of mail.domainname.com) or Outgoing server or port numbers And I dont see the API call to return the SMTP authentication setting. Is this information available via API call (password/server/port#/authentication)?
