That's a big UI bug with Thunderbird IMO: The automated account setup is
really nice, until you run into a case where it doesn't work. There's no
"expert" button to force a setup. The workaround is to go offline and
then setup the account...

So yes definitely expert buttons, I was talking about those users that
aren't yet experienced with crypto.

I like your idea of giving guidance on where-about they are still
getting good returns on their learning efforts.
