Mail Accounts types must be immutable.

It doesn't make sense to be allowed to change your News server into a POP3
server simply by changing a flag.

They should remain separate types from creation to deletion.

It maybe that an option is provided to convert between account types, but this
is should be handled as create new account, copy relevant settings, add new
settings, delete old account.

Reproducible: Always
MozCreator has a JWizard class that might be useful if you wanted to make a
wizard interface like Thunderbird.
