When TB tries to autodetect mail account type its real mess.
Its even hard to describe all the wrong variants I felt into, just give user a way to choose to use Autodetect or now.
I meant not to use Autodetect by default and then allow to interrupt, but provide an method to choose on previous step: "Manual setup" and "Autodetect"

Should have been marked a DUP of Bug 518411.  Bug 549045 will not provide the user with a method of bypassing "autodetection"/autoconfig.
plz, allow bypass feature.
