I sure can, because I find the autoconfiguration very helpful. I won't 
try to explain what we've done, but I will say that I started with the 
URLs below. The second one was especially helpful. We now have a system 
such that when someone runs Thunderbird for the first time, it prompts 
them for their password and that's it. No prompts for server or username 
or protocol or import wizard.
