Bug Description

In the Postler menu, the menu item "New Account" should be "Add Account..." since it invokes an action which requires more input from the user before it can be completed, and we're not actually creating a new account just adding a user's existing email account.

i believe "New Account" serves its purpose as it is, no need to make a bigger menu entry, it should be as small as possible.

yeah but then it should be "create account" or "create new account", if it
were to be semantically correct.

The proper string should probably be "Add Account..."

This is because you're not actually creating a new email account, you're adding an account that you already have. And the ellipses are because (like adam stated) it requires more info to completed.

Changed in postler:
status: Opinion → Confirmed
summary: - in menu, "New Account" should be "New Account..."
+ in menu, "New Account" should be "Add Account..."
