See also bug #52384. Currently, when you set up a new POP-account, the default outgoing server is used. This violates the new mailserver-rules which deny "relaying" and only accept mail from people who are registered on that server. This was introduced (at least over here in Europe) after spammers misused various mailservers to send out unsolicited mass-mail. So, instead of hiding away the possibility to add another SMTP-server, this should be made available in the account-wizard right away. Currently, a message is displayed that it's best to use the default-server, and the user has no choice to specify his or her own.

This is definitly needed. If you have more than one email account in mozilla you have to switch the smtp server manualy when you want to send email.

The first stage is to switch from server/login pages to incoming/outgoing pages. This patch just does what I think are all the code changes. In particular, I'm going to have to do something about the access keys. For now, I * renamed the server page to the incoming page and the login page to the outgoing page. * moved the SMTP server box to the outgoing page and the POP/IMAP username box to the incoming page, including the setup and validation code. I've tried this with regular email accounts. As far as I can tell it doesn't affect news accounts, but I don't have any ispdata accounts to test with.

Comment on attachment 596499 [details] [diff] [review] Rearrange fields thunderbird build failed because it couldn't find aw-server.js - I didn't do a clobber build, but I suspect there's still a TB reference to that file. I'll investigate a bit later.

Thunderbird doesn't use the account wizard for new mail accounts, but it does use it for new news accounts, and when I try to add a new news account, after giving the nntp host name, I get this: AccountWizard.prefillAccountForIsp(newsaccount) JavaScript error: chrome://messenger/content/AccountWizard.xul, line 1: incoming PageValidate is not defined I haven't tried this w/o your patch, and I haven't made sure that I made the same jar changes as your most recent patch - I'll check that now.

(In reply to David Bienvenu from comment #13) > Thunderbird doesn't use the account wizard for new mail accounts Have you dropped the preconfigured accounts you used to have too? > incomingPageValidate is not defined That should be defined in aw-incoming.js for which you would need the latest jar.mn changes to package correctly.

Comment on attachment 597337 [details] [diff] [review] With correct jar.mn changes You've not changed serverTitle.label or loginTitle.label to incoming / outgoing. f+ from me on testing mail accounts (though not every iteration possible).

Although patch didn't like it, kdiff3 seemed to think it could merge the locale changes to Thunderbird, so I hope it's OK. This patch also includes a bugfix for a missing smtp user name which was supposed to default to copying the incoming user name. I tried not to rename too many entities.

Comment on attachment 598710 [details] [diff] [review] Now with string changes Hmmm, on further testing, the wizard for newsblog accounts is not correct. It prompts for both incoming and outgoing information which it shouldn't.
