<p>To guide the user in typing proper information, we can use a
combination of placeholder text and tooltips. Showing all the
text at all times is not a good solution as it clutters the
dialog and distracts the user.</p>

<p>Tooltips can also be triggered dynamically without changing

<p>yes absolutely (I already elaborated in my previous post) - I
think if it is a validation error (which would not allow the
dialog to progress to the next step) a permanent tooltip triggered
by onblur( ) would be a nice way of solving this. On top of that
having a (?) button beside each entry that shows an explanation on
hover would be a good way to keep the dialog streamlined. I don't
want people force fed a ton of information unless they take an
action as it can be overwhelming .</p>

<p>This is something I'd like to hear your thoughts about it.
Since any dialog can be closed through the window controls, do
we want to highlight this option with a dedicated button?</p>
</div>

<p>I absolutely think this is necessary, because (as I said before)
giving a clearly guided dialog and then leaving the user to guess
"What happens if I just close this window?" is just introducing
unnecessary doubt & anxiety in an otherwise well thought out
process.<br>

<p>The idea here is to somewhat prevent this if the user access
TB for the first time and no accounts is set up. Is TB usable
in any way without an account?</p>
<p>Anyway, a "Set Up Later" button or link can be added on the
first screen, but I wouldn't add it or keep it once the user
is in the funnel, to prevent accidental clicks or confusion
with the back button.</p>

<p>Makes sense.. There is always the breadcrumb trail back for
people who change their minds. Which reminds me - could you add a
breadcrumb link trail at the top / bottom just to see what it
feels like? What I like about this is that it shows the set up is
part of a "funnel" which gives the user a sense of accomplishment.
Or is that overkill? Also, is the setup dialog planned to go "full
screen" within the Thunderbird client window, or is that too much?<br>
