give a comprehensive error in thunderbird if the provider doesn''t have support for email
If there is no support for email in your provider (or not enabled in bitmask) the error in thunderbird is too obscure and unrelated: https://github.com/leapcode/bitmask_thunderbird/issues/10
Can we improve that?
PS: I have the feeling that at some point we will have to create another channel besides IMAP and SMTP to give feedback from the backend to the thunderbird plugin, so we can know things like if the email you are sending will be encrypted or we could integrate keymanagement with the agenda.
