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

[Mimi Yin]

Here is a 2nd Pass at a design proposal for Thunderbird plugin.  
Brian, I've tweaked some of the verbiage, so please review carefully.  
Not sure if it's worth doing the 'custom context menu text' in #5 below.

As Brian pointed out, we need a way for users to change their account  
info if they ever change their username / password info. Also, we  
need a way for users to change which collection messages get added  
to. Plan of record is to simply swap out the 'Set up Chandler  
Account' menu text with 'Update Chandler Account', which will take  
users to the 1st screen of the account setup wizard, pre-populated  
with the settings they entered to set up the account in the first  
place. From there users can either update their account info and/or  
change the collection messages are added to.

2. Screen 1: Enter account info

Introduction text with link to sign up for a Hub account if you  
haven't already.

2a. Select Chandler Hub
> + Enter user name + password

2b. Select Chandler Server
+ Enter path
+ Enter user name + password
+ Enter port, [  ] SSL

BUTTONS
+ Cancel button
+ Greyed out Previous button
+ Active Next button (highlighted by default)

3. Screen 2: Select collection you'd like to add messages to.

BUTTONS
+ Cancel button
+ Active Previous button
+ Active Next button (highlighted by default)

4. Screen 3: Confirmation that account set up was successful +  
instructions on how to add messages to designated Chandler collection.

5. Add - Add to xxx on Chandler Hub to the Message and Context menus  
below 'Mark'
- xxx = collection name
- Chandler Hub should be replaced by Chandler Server if that's the  
kind of account the user set up.
