In a few words, please describe the issue that you're experiencing:
When adding or editing a mail account, relevant connection settings are displayed in a box to one side. However the layout of the information is confusing, repeats details unnecessarily, and misses out POP completely.
Current layout.
This is what is displayed currently the user is required to click on one of the four headings to display information, most of which is repeated.

Have all the information displayed as one single block, suitable for copying and pasting into an email. The information could be condensed into the following.
