2014424 - (tb-interim-ftue) [meta] Account hub - Interim FTUE (Email)

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, task)

Description

[Toby Pilling [:tobyp]]

The new Account Hub for Email (Bug 1853056 (tb-account-hub-email) ) allows users to set up EWS accounts (Graph API coming soon) and customize Oauth settings, whereas the existing FTUE which uses the legacy tab-based account setup does not. It is also a much more pleasant experience.

While we research, design and build the optimal experience, we would like to provide users with the new mail setup UX by default, not just for the second account.

This meta bug will track the changes needed to deliver the interim state.

Considerations...

• Dialog over existing tabs is not optimal
• Move Privacy Policy to a footer link and do not launch
• Move Know your Rights to a footer link and remove the bottom bar
• Optimize the logic used to decide when to display the FTUE (currently if closed it does not relaunch upon restart - perhaps better to always show unless user a.) has email account, b.) has calendar enabled + c.) has a contact)
• pref changes?
• Do not launch old setup tab
• adjust tests to handle new flow
