Ohhhh, I'm an idiot. You're saying we can't draw up the list of collections for you to choose from until we've had a chance to ping the server with your user name password. So yes, the wizard does make the most sense. I will come back with more mockups.

Thanks Brian.

Perhaps this should be moved to a wizard type dialog where the information can be added
in stages.

Page One:
Enter username and account - clicking next will retrieve the collections for the account. With this type of workflow the Test button should remain so the user can try the account before hitting next.

   Page Two:
      Select the collection to use to send mail to.

   Page Three:
Done page with settings to confirm. This page would have a cancel, go back, and done.

Done = save the settings and activate Chandler menus in the UI and Toolbar.

I'm not sure we need to do all that given that there are only 3 fields to fill out. I think if we end up needing to add more steps we should definitely keep that in mind.

For example, we could provide options for how much functionality people want to add to the UI:
- Toolbar button?
- Column in the list?
- Stamping buttons?
etc...
