Open issues/risks
- How is this disabled in enterprise situations?
- We can pref off the account provisioner now (see bug 700535)
- Needs a privacy policy update.
Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
From studies, we've discovered a lot of people who download Thunderbird expect Thunderbird to give them an email account. Therefore we should offer folks a sign-up option to get an email address.
2. Users & use cases
This will primarily be for new users and will offer a choice of sign-ups. New users can still use existing email addresses without the need to sign-up.
Existing users of Thunderbird will also be able to access the sign-up if they wish to sign up for a new address.
3. Dependencies
- Features/Thunderbird/Opensearch needs to be landed for providers to offer setting the default search provider.
