[Chandler-dev] [Proposal] Tbird - First Pass

[Brian Kirsch]

Hello,
One more thing to consider is users changing accounts / servers /  
passwords etc.

That is, there needs to be a way from the accounts dialog to change  
settings
and then depending on what is done choose from updated / new  
collections.

This may not be a requirement for the first iteration.
