:Well, the main FAQ isn't really the main FAQ anymore. This page isn't being actively updated now that we're using a [[:Category:Thunderbird|category-based]] organizational scheme (where the links for info on installing extensions now appear in both the "Extensions" and "Installation and update" categories for TB).

This page looks huge
There is too much on the page. I've tried reorganzing it (awhile ago), removing unneeded text (by removing redundancies and making the wording more succinct), and emphasizing the section headers (today).
What about breaking it into two pages: mail and everything else?

E-mail Account Setup
- Basic e-mail account configuration (a guide for beginners)
- Use webmail, including Gmail, Hotmail, MSN, AOL, or Yahoo! Mail
- Global Inbox - One Inbox for multiple e-mail accounts
- Multiple identities (return addresses) for one e-mail account
- Multiple SMTP (outgoing mail) servers or accounts
- SMTP (outgoing mail) authentication
- Import e-mail & settings from other programs (Mozilla, Netscape, Outlook Express, Eudora, AOL, etc.)
If I don't hear back, I'll change it.
