<p>Hi Christopher,</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your great feedback.</p>
<p>A sort of welcome page might be a really good approach for the
account page, what you see when you click on your email account,
where as you said we can have way more flexibility.</p>
<p>I don't think a welcome page should be a replacement for the
account setup dialog, as a dialog forces us to be careful with
space and content, and helps the user to focus on one thing at the
time through a guided and compact workflow.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, your suggestion is much appreciated.</p>
<p>P.S. I'm an avid VSCode user, so thank you so much for
contributing on that great piece of software :D<br>

<p>I am hoping more feedback is welcome versus too much...</p>
<p>under that assumption, my 1.5c:</p>
<p>Full disclosure - I have been a collaborator for the Microsoft
Visual Studio Code project for two years (I do have a bias)</p>
<p>VCS is obviously a very different tool used by developers not
the average Joe. It does have a lot in common with Thunderbird</p>
<p>Regardless , I wanted to focus on one feature, the welcome
page. I apologize if I missed it among the many threads, but I
do not think</p>
<p>anyone has mentioned using something like this welcome page as
opposed to a dialogue. As you can see from below, the welcome
page</p>
<p>which is shown at all startups if not disabled by the user,
shows a pretty complete set of jumpoff points for things you
would typically do</p>
<p>both at first launch as well as new sessions. By using more of
a full-page approach we have much more flexibility to point
people in the right direction</p>
<p>either as novices , or experienced people looking for
extensions right away, The importation of certificates,
accounts OR "advertising" offering a new</p>
<p>e-mail account are all possible with the page, but would be
very hard to do in a dialogue. NoOne needs to close anything or
more importantly</p>
<p>be concerned about closing dialogue with a page approaches
well. The other thing is that a page like this can be much more
dynamic since its focus</p>
<p>is arguably more generalized and it can absorb evolution
without real paradigm changes. Making more dynamic content
within this context</p>
<p>also has some advantages.</p>
<p>FWIW</p>
