Hi Peter & Mike!

I don't recall that Balsa ever used the domain to pick a server, but it seems 
like a good idea!

I actually wrote code for re-working the authentication and for probing servers 
based upon the domain name in the context of the OAuth2 implementation (Balsa 
issue #40).  The latter project is somewhat “stalled”, though, basically 
because it is apparently extremely difficult to get approval from the providers 
(Google, Yahoo; Microsoft is more or less working) for a non-commercial Open 
Source project without external audits etc.

I could try to extract the authentication and probing code (also related to 
issue #55) into an new branch, but without the actual OAuth2 implementation 
(which would then just be an additional method, plus the OAuth2 layer 
implementation).  This shouldn't be too difficult.  What do you think?

Best,
Albrecht.
