<div class="gmail_quote">I think one thing that should be
improved, is setting up Thunderbird for the first time. As
it is now, you immediately get a prompt to get an account
for Gandhi, and the option to use an existing mail account
is somewhat hidden. Most of the users do have an existing
account though, provided by their ISP, so I think
configuring Thunderbird for an existing mail account should
be the default.<br>

I agree...<br>
<br>
Also, as for 'existing accounts', I don't know how easy it is, but
checking the system for 'default mail client', and if one (a real
fat mail client) exists like Outlook, Windows Mail, Apple Mail, etc,
also offer prominently to simply import their existing accounts with
a single click.<br>
<br>
Or... maybe it already does this? It has been a long time since I've
done that for someone.<br>

<div>Also if someone doesn't have an existing mail account
or wants to setup a new account anyway, he should be
served better than to be given the option to get an
account for Gandhi. There are a couple of free mail
providers, like Gmail of Hotmail, which have their own
merits. A brief explanation of the differences between
such a free account, an address with their ISP and a payed
account and maybe a guide to help acquire an account for
Gmail or Hotmail is the least we could do. This is
especially necessary, since people don't always realize
what an email client is or does and they don't understand
the difference between the program and the mail address.<br>
