I checked the spec and I don't see specifically what information should be displayed for the following: - POP/IMAP - Netscape Webmail - AOL - News For News I would like to see: - Username - Email address - News Server Name

Adding mail3 as a keyword. Giving the user a summary of all the information is good. This allows them to go back if a mistake was made and could be a reinforcement that they entered the information correctly.
Keywords: mail3

about news, we should not be showing the username. we have a related bug about showing the username for news in the account manager. the problem is the username (and password) we actually use is stored in the password manager. news usernames can vary per newsgroup on a server, so we store it on a group by group basis (and for the server.)

markings nsbeta1+ and moving to mozilla0.8. reassigning to racham.
I have added code to enable the display of most of the information we collect from the user as a Summary on the last screen of Account Wizard. I will post the patch and also attach 2 snapshots taken after creating a mail and news accounts respectively. As we are using trying to hide the fields where we do not have data or the fields not relavant in the context, on the summary panel of mail/news account you will find a blank line(s) separating some of these items. Snapshots included hopefully are in reasonable shape for presenting the info to the user. Anyway, input and ideas are welcome here. Adding seth, bienvenu and ninoschka to the cc list. Jennifer has reported this bug.

comments: notice the "..." in your screen shots. My guess is the text is getting cropped, so layout puts the "..." in there. the problem is with your new entities in aw-done.dtd you have: +<!ENTITY serverTypePrefix.label "Incoming Server Type: "> +<!ENTITY serverNamePrefix.label "Incoming Server Name: "> +<!ENTITY smtpServerNamePrefix.label "SMTP Server Name:"> +<!ENTITY newsServerNamePrefix.label "News Server Name: "> you should have: +<!ENTITY serverTypePrefix.label "Incoming Server Type:"> +<!ENTITY serverNamePrefix.label "Incoming Server Name:"> +<!ENTITY smtpServerNamePrefix.label "SMTP Server Name:"> +<!ENTITY newsServerNamePrefix.label "News Server Name:"> it looks like the xul is already written to line things up correctly. also, what do pop, webmail and AOL accounts look like? can you post screen shots for your local commercial build? I'm guessing that imap, webmail and AOL accounts will say "Incoming Server Type: imap" and pop will have "Incoming Server Type: pop3" I think we should have: IMAP (instead of imap) POP3 (instead of pop3) AOL Mail (instead of imap) Netcenter WebMail (instead of imap) once you fix the "..." problem, r=sspitzer. then, open a new bug on allowing for a pretty name for the type. I've got some ideas on how to do that I'll discuss with bhuvan.

>I think we should have: >IMAP (instead of imap) >POP3 (instead of pop3) >AOL Mail (instead of imap) >Netcenter WebMail (instead of imap) I agree. I would expect POP3 to look almost identical to IMAP (except for Incoming Server Type of course). AOL and Webmail would look similar to Mail accounts except Incoming and SMTP Server Names are not needed since the user didn't enter these themselves (and hence may confuse them). Incoming Server Type: "AOL Mail - IMAP" or "Netcenter Mail - IMAP". (" - IMAP" can be left off if folks think that is better).

r=sspitzer 1) I wouldn't check in your ns tree change without checking the spec. that will give all new aol accounts the pretty name of "AOL Mail". double check with kmurray, nbaca, jglick. (I know we do that for "Netcenter Web Mail", but AOL Mail might be different on purpose.) 2) no need to log that other bug, it looks like I did it already: #63775

so we are supposed to show "AOL Mail" in the folder pane by default? if that is the case, your change to the ns tree is correct and will fix that problem.

+ if (accountName == "") and similar => if (!accountName) + if (userName == "" && email != "") { => if (userName && !email) { ! if (!value || value =="") { ! if (!value) { Also, disabled items shouldn't be defaults (Next is disabled and default in one of the pictures) if you don't want to fix that here, could you file a bug for it?

The screen shots look excellent. Two things: 1. Regarding nbaca's comment on 1/9 at 16:26, the "pretty name" for webmail is "Netscape WebMail" (note the capitalized M), and is wrong in the folder pane as well (I know, file a bug) 2. On the AOL summary screen(id 22184), we need to slim down the info. "User Name" should be "Screen Name" and we should remove the following lines/info: "Incoming Server Name," "Incoming Server Type," and "SMTP Server Name." Why? You know why. Because AOL users won't care about that info.

Kevin, Regd the first issue you brought up..it's pretty easy to fix 'Webmail' to 'WebMail'. I can do that along with this fix. Regd your second issue, I would like tackle that in a separate bug which need to be filed in bugscape (not in bugzilla). Question posed by Seth about 'AOL Mail' still remains unanswered about 'Aol Mail' as the pretty Account name on Aol screenshot. I guess you implied that it is OK to have prettyname 'AOL Mail' for aol accounts. But I want to confirm on that one explicitely so that we don't overwrite some existing behavior accidentally..Please comment on that.
Comment 33•24 years ago

does this change make it so that all aol mail accounts show up in the folder pane as just "AOL Mail" and not Mail for joe@aoo.com? That would mean that if I had multiple AOL accounts, they would all show up as just AOL Mail and I could not tell the difference between the accounts. That would be very confusing for me.
Comment 34•24 years ago

I think Seth was just asking about the default, which should be rename-able.

Comment 35•24 years ago

Screen shots look good. Some comments. News summary screen: Do we want to show "User Name"? I remember some comment about not showing it. Maybe a comment from Seth? Agree with Kevin about AOL Mail and WebMail summary screens. They shouldn't show all that info. Only the info that the user actually entered or needs to know. AOL: Email address, Account Name. (Screen Name - the wizard currently asks users to enter their email address, but they are really only entering their screen name since the static text '@aol.com' is shown. Could the wizard ask users to enter their screen name instead since that is more accurate? If so, then also show "Screen Name" on the summary page.) WebMail: Email Address, Account Name. ("Screen Name" or "User Name"? same comments as above, but does netcenter call it a User Name or a screen name? The wizard should also be changed to ask for User/Screen Name instead of email address since that is what the text field is asking for).
Comment 36•24 years ago

We need to change the wizard to ask for "Screen Name" as well. Regarding WebMail, they use "User Name."

I updated the Account Wizard screens of the Account Settings spec. It doesn't show up yet, but should be available soon. http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/specs/accounts/ Note: red text for aol and webmail screens is what I would like to see the wording changed to.
Comment 38•24 years ago

yes, jglick is right. don't show the username for news. but feel free to log that as a bug and fix it later, along with the other polish items.
Comment 39•24 years ago

Jen, did you mean to change the wording on the WebMail screen back to Netcenter?
Reporter | ||
Comment 40•24 years ago
|
||
Kevin, what should it say? "Enter you WebMail user name?". Let me know what the correct wording is and i'll update the spec. Thanks.
Comment 41•24 years ago
|
||
Good question - since it's no longer called "Netcenter" we should probably call it "Netscape.com User Name."

Comment 49•24 years ago

sr=bienvenu. However, I still have to say that just showing AOL Mail in the folder pane without indicating the user/screen name is going to be very confusing for AOL users with multiple e-mail names. This is a very common useage - a family shares an AOL account, and has separate e-mail accounts for each member. We would be requiring them to have separate netscape profiles in order to distinguish between their aol accounts (because they would all just show up as "AOL Mail" in the folder pane), and I believe that setting up separate profiles is a very difficult thing to require AOL users to do. I thought we were trying to get away from setting up separate profiles.

bienvenu, racham, and jglick: instead of "AOL Mail" for every aol account, how about "AOL Mail for <screenname>. we should allow racham to land his patch (to get it out of his tree) and then log a new bug to fix that issue.

I am going to do 'AOL mail for <screenname>'. That is the plan. I will file a new bug. Just didn't bring that up here. I don't want to delay this furher. Thanks for review and superreviews.

Comment 52•24 years ago

I think "AOL Mail for <screenname>" is good, as well as "WebMail for <username>". We had talked about "AOL Mail for <emailaddress> at the issues meeting, but I thought that was too long and actually did what Seth suggested in the spec. http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/specs/accounts/images/WizardAol6.gif

We will go with just the screenname/username (ISP's user's email id). I already open a bug (http://bugscape.netscape.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3709) on this issue. thanks.
