Just some word confusion that came up during the TB UI testing [1] with one of the participants. In the account setup dialog, the dialog that finishes the account setup is called "Create account". This is a bit confusing since you're not creating any new account, you're just signing into it using Thunderbird. At the same time you're creating it in Thunderbird, though :) One way we could do it is to have it say "Sign in" instead. Hotmail and Gmail used that word.

oops...forgot the footnote. 1. http://design.canonical.com/2011/02/thunderbird-in-the-usability-lab/
I made the label be "Finish setup" so it is not too long. I didn't like "sign in" too much. But let bwinton decide.

It seems, this is not used by Seamonkey.

Comment on attachment 598331 [details] [diff] [review] patch I don't really like "Finish Setup", because there's still the password-checking step after that. "Sign In" is better, since that's what we're actually doing, but even that's not great. So, the password-checking step suggests something like "Check Password", but we may not do that, and if the password is good, we'll actually create the account. How do you all think would "OK" or "Done" would work instead? (OK/Cancel is a common pair of buttons.)

"Done" is all right with me.

Done. Strangely I didn't get the button when trying to setup an account while TB was set offline. No idea what reason that has, but is probably other bug.

Comment on attachment 609386 [details] [diff] [review] patch v2 Well, "Done" was my suggestion, but I'll say ui-r=me anyways, just to follow tradition. ;) Thanks, Blake.
