That's it.
Concerning intuitiveness, the problem is located deeper imho, the  
start-up assistant only knows local mailboxes, it should be sensitive  
to let the user choose between local/POP3/spool or remote/IMAP and  
react accordingly, but that's definitely a hard one and not feasible  
with the current outbox approach.
