Notes

The outgoing server is not always available like this. If there already exists an SMTP entry then the Outgoing server area is blank. It might be worthwhile to look into the related bug.

Page 5

The intention of this page is to get an account name which will be shown in the account tree view. A default email address is given for the name, but people may change it to something friendlier.

/explanatory text/

Account Name:  [ jane.email@doe.mail ]

[[ < Back ]] [[ Next > ]] [[ Cancel ]]

Notes

I'd like to think about merging this page with the final page. There is only one input here and it doesn't need much explanation. Instead of a total summary at Page 6 we could have the Account Name input plus the summary of the account details. One less page.

Page 6

This is the final review page where your options are shown and a new account will be created after this step.

POP

Account Name:                jane.email@doe.mail
Email Address:               jane.email@doe.mail
Incoming User Name:          jane.email
Incoming Server Name:        mail.doe.mail
Incomint Server Type:        POP
Outgoing User Name:          jane.email
Outgoing Server Name (SMTP): smtp.doe.mail

/explanatory text/

[*] Use Global Inbox (store mail in Local Folders)

[*] Download messages now

[[ < Back ]] [[ Finish ]] [[ Cancel ]]

Notes

The Global Inbox choice was moved here from it's original place on Page 3. Hopefully the option makes more sense where the person is also asked about downloading mail.

IMAP

Account Name:                jane.email@doe.mail
Email Address:               jane.email@doe.mail
Incoming User Name:          jane.email
Incoming Server Name:        mail.doe.mail
Incomint Server Type:        IMAP
Outgoing User Name:          jane.email
Outgoing Server Name (SMTP): smtp.doe.mail
