<p>
        A GOA application needs to handle service-specific protocols
        and quirks itself. Some service-types, such as <a class="link" href="gdbus-org.gnome.OnlineAccounts.Mail.html" title="org.gnome.OnlineAccounts.Mail">mail</a>, may
        use standard protocols such as <a class="ulink" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501" target="_top">IMAP</a> or
        <a class="ulink" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321" target="_top">SMTP</a>
        but they also may not. GOA applications should always look at
        the <a class="link" href="gdbus-org.gnome.OnlineAccounts.Account.html#gdbus-property-org-gnome-OnlineAccounts-Account.ProviderType" title='The "ProviderType" property'>Account.ProviderType</a>
        property to infer what kind of protocol and endpoint to use.
