2052906 - Account Hub Manual Config - Add string for warning when OAuth authentication is selected for a host that doesn't provide it

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, task, P3)

Description

[Vineet Deo]

This task is for ensuring OAuth is always an option in the IMAP/POP3 form as an authentication method, for incoming and outgoing. For that to be possible the following rules must apply:

• Always show OAuth as an option regardless of known hosts
• If the hostname is not a known hosts and the user selects OAuth, show text with a link to support article underneath the authentication method dropdown
• Do not allow for submitting the configuration for testing when the hostname is not in the known hosts and OAuth has been selected. The user can click the support link for more information, or click advanced config

Design has been finalized - the message BELOW the Authentication Method drop down should read as below if the hostname entered does not match any that we have in Oauth2Providers.sys.mjs:

Additional configuration is required

Thunderbird can't automatically configure OAuth2 for this hostname. Open Advanced Config to create the account, then complete OAuth2 setup or read about the available OAuth2 setup options.

Copy has been updated:

Additional configuration is required

Thunderbird can’t automatically configure OAuth2 for this hostname. Select Advanced Configuration to create the account, then complete setup from Account Settings. Get help with OAuth2 setup.

Attachment: Bug 2052906 - Add Fluent Strings for OAuth warning in Account Hub. r=#thunderbird-front-end-reviewers

Since we're close to code freeze for 154, this patch simply adds the Fluent strings that will be needed for the rest of the work in 2052906. This allows translators a little bit of extra time to get the translation done. A follow up patch will be submitted in the next day or two to utilize these strings.

Separating this bug, with this bug only handling the string additions, and the dependent bug adding the logic changes.
