We want to allow people to easily send out invitations in 0.7 without
having to:
+ fill out incoming mail account information, thereby
+ sending Chandler into the throes of trying to download your email
into the repository.
Currently, if you fill out the SMTP account information, you have to
fill out Incoming mail account information as well (so that there's a
reply-to email address for outbound mail.)
Here are a couple of proposals for how we might de-couple incoming
and outgoing mail accounts in 0.7:
+ Add a "Reply to:" field to the SMTP account form. Allow users to
send email by just filling out Outbound mail information without an
Incoming mail account. AND/OR
+ Unify Inbound and Outbound mail account info into a single Mail
account. Users can optionally fill out the incoming mail server. AND/OR
+ Add a checkbox to the mail account form that is un-checked by
default: Sync automatically.
