can we please use the same add account dialog that is in thunderbird
example:
right now seamonkey doesnt have gmail option nro agoang others that thunderbird has.
I'm thinking its too late for Seamonkey-1 since it is a UI change.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start with clean profile or 1st time set up
2.The first screen you see is the add account dialog
3.This only lists 2 options
Actual Results:  
Only shows 2 options one is plain add account IIRC and the other is newgroups.
Since there are a whole lot of gmail users.

Expected Results:  
Once you start to add account i expect it to be same or very close to thunderbird set up options

Also after adding a gmail account i was unable to use it in Seamonkey-2 it said username or password are wrtong. I set it up flawlessly in Seamonkey1 and Thunderbird 2 and 3

We deliberately don't ship gmail.rdf/googlemail.rdf - see bug 368705.

One issue per bug, please!

GMail/IMAP works for me.
