I don't believe there are any plans to support multiple servers of
one type, since that seems like an edge-case, and one that would
in general confuse users more than it would help them. (Of all
the autoconfigs we have, no-one has asked for multiple servers of
the same type yet.)<br>

As a side note, automx looks like a pretty sweet tool!<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I am writing the code for automx (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.automx.org/">http://www.automx.org/</a>), which does implement an autoconfig service (written in Python). Currently it supports multiple servers.
As far as I know, Thunderbird doesn't support this, yet. I had included this support into automx, because the example snippets to the autoconfig specs did show a "Freemail" configuration that does list multiple protocols.
Also:
See: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Autoconfiguration:ConfigFileFormat">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Autoconfiguration:ConfigFileFormat</a>
Section: Multiple servers
Now my question:
Will Thunderbird ever include multiple servers? If not, I would remove this support in automx, as it does make our code much more easier and cleaner.
Thanks in advance
