== Account Settings and Preferences definitions == | |||
In {{bug|448716}} Comment #17, Comment #18, Comment #19 it was it discussed how the definitions of Account Settings and Preferences should be. | |||
So far the definitions are | |||
* Preferences: program behaviour | |||
* Account Settings: global and local email or folder related | |||
* Identity Manager: user manager {{bug|448691}} | |||
The purpose of these definitions is to make the clear where an option belongs when we come to milestone 4 and milestone 5. | |||
From an users point of view, it should make it easier to find a particular option. | |||
