The one thing that I think is still confusing is the "Use legacy (port
5223) SSL" value.
There have been people confused in the past because some servers make
that type of connection available on port 443 (for proxy/firewall
reasons).
Is there some way that we can avoid that confusion (I don't have any
great ideas offhand)?

Apart from that, I think it is a welcome improvement.
