There's no way for the user to "discover" how to delete server entries from the app. One has to know that a right click is required. Not everybody knows this.

I am not sure how common this problem is, or whether or not we have to assume the user knows this? Also not sure how to improve this? Perhaps with an "edit" button or something that allows you to "select" the entries and then delete them?

BTW, the right click "delete" option in the Windows/macOS client (and
long tip on Android) is very good hidden and not very intuitive. Most of
the users (including myself) did not find that option by themselves.
Perhaps it could be made more user-friendly?

@fkooman: We can also delete a server by swiping on a list entry. Both these patterns (right-click / swipe) are consistent with other macOS apps (like Notes, Mail, etc.).

If we have an Edit button, it would be on a line, all by itself, which is not very nice.

Maybe we have a delete button that appears to the left of the Settings button when in the Connection view, that deletes the current server. What do you think?

If things are conform the platform conventions I guess we can't and shouldn't do much?

Mail does have a dedicated button in the message pane, but Notes doesn't. So adding a button in the detail view would be still ok, and will be consistent with platform conventions still.
