Aleca, this looks nice, but as a user, I wouldn't know what to do. The "Email" button looks like a tab, given that it's blue, it seems like it's selected. So, I would expect the email setup below. But it says "About Thunderbird" below that, nothing to do with email. That's confusing me. I wouldn't know where to click. Obviously, I cannot click on a button that's already selected/pressed. If you intended these a push buttons, remove the blue background, and make the border look more like push buttons, so that I know to click on it.

Also, add a line right above that says "Set up account:". (The sub-title of the dialog already says that, but I didn't see that, I skimmed only "Welcome" and "Email".) The words should not be capitalized.

After first launch, we should show this page, but we should nonetheless start the email setup wizard, showing above this page. The user should set up an email account first. Then afterwards, he can add calendar etc.. The user installs Thunderbird to read his email, so we should streamline the email setup. Once that's done, this account hub will help the user discover that Thunderbird can do more than email. 

> Movemail box we can remove

Strongly agreed!

(We should remove the feature altogether. Nobody uses this anymore.)
