IMHO there is another great problem, accounts configuration, people 
should be able to add an account simply, without having to create an 
identity, add a transport, add a pop3(or whatever) server in another 
tab, and then add to the identity a different transport if this is not 
the same as default.
It isn't better to have ONE account entry in the config dialog (or 
better in a separate dialog) where you could create/manage every account 
detail (name, smtp, pop3 and their options) in one single place?

Cheers,
Luca
