Description Alex 2018-01-25 19:46:18 UTC
The setup wizard asks first for Name, email and password and later (if you choose manual IMAP) for a server name.
You can see nowhere if it will use TLS and when it will try to connect for the first time. This means I do not know if my password may be sent in plaintext.

Please add a clear option 
    TLS: yes, starttls, starttls (optional), no
where I can be sure that I will use TLS when using "yes" or "starttls".

I guess it defaults to TLS, but I have no idea about its fallback behaviour and I am not even sure if it doesn't try without TLS. That's a bad thing for setting up an email account.
