[Kde-pim] Usability testing

[Sandro Knauß]

Hey,

> Another missing part is basic server configuration (URL + port + protocol).
> I'd like to do something like thunderbird does. Basically the wizard only 
asks for the name and the email, and then does its magic, leaving kmail in an 
unready state. I personnaly don't think that the wizard is worth fixing in its 
current form, that's why I'd like to propose a new one.

Kolab has improved the acountwizard at lot. Our aim to reach was you enter 
your emailadress+password and than everything else it setup for you. For the 
kolabresource we have reached that point :) (the patch for that is ready at my 
computer for review...)

But you make your point, that afterwards the user is lost, so he has to deal 
with multiple config dialogs. To change freebusy information you have to go to 
korganizer, for ldap you have to change inside kaddressbook, for imap & smtp 
change inside kmail. And all these were entered from the accountwizard.

Regards,

sandro
