Subject: [gentoo-user] Creating accounts in Thunderbird
Date: Sun, 03 Feb 2013 13:51:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <510E4F56.1080703@gmail.com> (raw)

Test driving this newfangled thunderbird thingy, trying to create the
last of my several accounts.

This account does not need SMTP settings, i never send from it.
But the create Account Wizard insists on trying to validate passwords
and every setting other under the sun.

How do I get Thunderbird to act like software and not assume it know
better than I do?
All I want is for it to accept what I put in the textbox and use it,
*and*do*nothing*else.

Is there some magic config file where I can bypass the wizard?
