It looks like Mail also writes to com.apple.internetconfig.plist (since
that's all I use, and it has my account options).
However, I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to use this file.
There is always a chance that one of your users isn't using one of
these mail clients and forcing someone to set up an account in Mail
just to get your application working might not be acceptable. I'm sure
not all email clients write to this file (and if they do, I could
foresee conflicts).
That said, I wonder why apple decided to stop using a system preference
pane (ie well known common location) to store this info. This may be
what com.apple.internetconfig has become. Does anyone know or have any
ideas why apple made this change?

Matt and everyone;
Is ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconfig.plist a reliable
source for the user's email address and SMTP info? I have my doubts
since the Prefs panels are now moved into Mail.app now. What apps are
known write to com.apple.internetconfig.plist?
It appears that Entourage.app writes to
com.apple.internetconfig.plist, but Mail.app does NOT!! Maybe I should
inspect both com.apple.mail.plist and com.apple.internetconfig.plist
for a set of defaults?
