Bug Description

Release: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Version: 3.8.0-1ubuntu1

After installing claws-mail I open up the dash window and type 'claws'. I click on the Claws Mail icon, and is greeted by the "Claws Mail Setup Wizard".

Actual behaviour:
The Wizard demands information about me, "Your name" and "Your email address". Since these two fields are highly irrelevant for my purpose, I do not wish to fill it out, because I do not want any default account created that will not be used. I will not be using Claws Mail to send any emails, nor use it to read any emails addressed to any human being. However, clicking on "Cancel" here will abort the Wizard and NOT start the actual program.

So, I can not start or use Claws Mail without completing the Wizard, even though I know the information I enter will never be used. I could of course just enter fake information or accept the defaults, but that just means that my first action would be to delete a useless mail account and then create a new one.

Expected behaviour:
Clicking on "Cancel" should abort the wizard and start Claws Mail with no default account created.
