Bug Description
I tried to add my IMAP Server to thunderbird 10
1. if is start it it asks me to create a Hotmail or AOL account?
2. after clicking thru some menus i try to add my IMAP Server which IS! accessible from my network here (tried to telnet it and it works).
After I enter my information in some kind if wizard it first tries to find my settings from Mozilla (which i don´t want it to do, because i don´t want to know Mozilla my server address, but i am not even asked!)
Well it doesn´t find any information (I don´t expect that as no one knows my mail server), because it can´t find that information it keeps telling me, it can´t add that mail server so even if I manually enter the server adress and the port / encryption method, it just asks the Mozilla db and doesn´t even try to connect to my server..
I hope Canonical chooses to not include such features in there coming releases of ubuntu or someone forks that mozilla crap and removes all that bloatware features...
I consider that as a bug, because adding mail servers not in the Mozilla ISP Database is impossible or just doesn´t work.
There is no way of adding a server manual without the wizard which many people don´t want, because they know what they are doing!
