<p>It might be necessary to increase the width of the modal just a

<p>TB will use the same credentials for receiving and sending
emails, but the user will have the option to opt-out once in the
manual config phase. If the user unchecks that option, 2
dedicated username and password fields will be revealed.</p>

Yay! You just made my day, thanks!<br>

Excellent - and I strongly agree with Ben that this option must also
find a place in the Account Settings dialog as well, so another one
for that as well.<br>
<br>
Also, I guess a decision needs to be made as to whether or not to
just add some code to keep both entries in the password manager in
sync when this option is enabled, or to have an entirely new mode.
Personally, I prefer clean, so would prefer an entirely new mode
that simply uses the one entry in the password manager, but it isn't
a big deal. But once that decision is made, one last bug for that.<br>

<p><b>Buttons</b></p>
<p>A "re-test" button will allow the user to test as many times as
he wants until a successful connection gets established. The
"Done" button will save the account as it is allowing the user
to come back to this section at a later time.</p>

If this means what it sounds like it means - that it will now be
simple to save an account with non-functional settings, then I can
only say 'Thank you!!!' again. This has been a long time coming.<br>
<br>
However, I wonder if there should be two different labels for this
button, depending on whether or not the settings have been
validated... something like 'Save As-Is' (with appropriate warnings
about it being non-functional), and 'Done', for when the settings
have been validated. Not extremely important, but 'Done' isn't
exactly accurate if the settings cannot be validated.<br>
<br>
Everything else looks great!<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for your hard work Alessandro, and for listening and
responding so well to the feedback you've been getting!<br>
