If I understand right, this bug is about "New account setup" (autoconfig), isn´t?

When we install Thunderbird and run it bu the first time, autoconfig popup to me, but when I go to the "Edit --> Mail account", I can´t see autoconfig anymore!

Why?

I think that "autoconfig mode" need be available in ALL new mail accounts.

Tested on: Thunderbird 3Beta4.

The bug is about Quick setup being mail only.
