• Deliverable for set to 268

Marking is for kytv as the one working on Icedove integration. Maybe you should test whether this is still activated with TorBirdy, and whether we can disable it. Then raise the issue in a monthly meeting if we cannot find a clear agreement quickly on the ticket.

After poking around in Icedove’s options/menus for some time I’m quite confident in saying that it is not possible to create an account on a remote server within Icedove when Torbirdy is installed.

Closing as resolved.

> After poking around in Icedove’s options/menus for some time

Just to make sure: did you test that from Icedove’s account creation wizard (which this ticket is about), or did you do this poking around in a context where it was disabled (which is probably the case in your Icedove branch I guess, since that’s how we want to ship things in Tails 1.7)?

The Torbirdy source includes

  // Check if we are running Tails. If yes, disable the manual account
  // configuration wizard since Tails handles that on its own. See:
  // https://tails.boum.org/todo/Return_of_Icedove__63__/#index6h2
  // This is also disabled if "extensions.torbirdy.emailwizard" is true.
  var disableWizard = false;
  if (prefs.prefHasUserValue("vendor.name")) {
    if (prefs.getCharPref("vendor.name") === "Tails") {
      disableWizard = true;
    }   
  }
  if (prefs.getBoolPref("extensions.torbirdy.emailwizard")) {
    disableWizard = true;
  }

With pref("vendor.name", "Tails"); set I didn’t see the account creation option. Looking at it again after disabling Torbirdy and seeing the default Icedove ‘wizard’ it seems that this setting may not have been respected.

• File get a new account.png added
• File would you like a new email address.png added

Just to clarify which objects we’re talking about here are two screenshots.

• “get a new account.png” is the initial window of the account creation assistant when launched from the menu “Account Settings” → “Add Mail Account”, for example to configure a second email account. We should aim at removing the “Get a new account” buttom from this windows once we have the default Icedove assistant.

• “would you like a new email address.png” appears in two circumstances:
  • It’s the very first screen to appear when first starting Icedove in Tails with Tor Birdy disabled (no account created yet).
  • It’s the screen that appears when clicking the “Get a new account” button from the wizard as described in the other screenshot.

We should aim at never displaying this screen unless we really want this feature.
