Comment(by rlaager):

 Replying to [comment:8 deryni]:
 > Do we want to think about putting username/domain/password entry fields
 and the protocol dropdown box directly in the Accounts dialog when no
 accounts exist (or possibly always)? This would allow for simpler account
 creation when the 'extra' fields aren't needed, which would solve some of
 the complaints we've gotten about how the Add Account dialog is confusing
 (because of things like Local Alias).

 This sounds interested, but I don't think it's workable. Some account
 types (XMPP) require more information. Though, I suppose we could split on
 the @ sign in that case. I wonder about the implications for password
 saving. Does our existing password prompt offer a checkbox to save the
 password? If it did, I suppose this would be workable. However, my fear
 would be that people wouldn't realize there were other options available.
