The support is a bit broader than that, however, there isn't currently a great 
method for auto-discovery/configuration.  For example, I believe that iOS and 
Yahoo have support for other providers in their clients, and Thunderbird 
supports I think ten or so providers.  There have been some discussions to try 
to make that auto-configuration a bit easier, and I suppose a bit more secure.  
Many folks would prefer that OAUTH support be more broadly deployed across 
providers and clients for a few reasons.
