bothered by the phrase "Set Up an Existing Account". Why?
Because you're NOT 'setting up an existing account'. The existing
<b><u>email</u></b> account is <u>already</u> 'set up' and (I
assume) correctly configured. The user is <b><u>configuring</u></b><b><u>
Thunderbird</u></b> to connect to & work with an existing,
working email account. What about something like: <br>
<ul>
<li>Set Up Thunderbird to: <br>
</li>
<ul>
<li>Work with an existing email account <br>
or<br>
</li>
<li>Create & work with a new email account</li>

<p>I've also had concerns about this. It might be interesting to
see how other mail clients handle this.</p>
<p>That said, I'm sure there have been struggles with "naming" and
wording this in the past. So it may be instructive to look at the
following (in reverse chronological order)<br>
