367499 - Consolidate ISP hooks

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 422814

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Markus S.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061031 Camino/1.2+
Build Identifier: version 2 beta 2 (20070118)

Instead of offering a radio button for every known ISP, keep it as before. Just three choices: Mail account, Newsgroup account, and RSS.
If "Mail account" is chosen, just ask for name and mail address. Then use the mail address to pick the correct RDF automatically.

Reproducible: Always

bonus points for searching updates.mozilla (or whatever) to go find the appropriate rdf. My guess is the domain plus language should be pretty well determinstic for most email providers

David, are you working on something equivalent already?

/me thinks this might be a dupe.
