I believe that the Icedove (rebranded Thunderbird) account creation assistant will improve this a lot; we're working on the migration: https://tails.boum.org/todo/Return_of_Icedove__63__/ > I wonder if there is a way to improve this, as most users expect the > mail client to work just like the one they are used to in their > normal operating system. I'm not sure I follow. These users, or someone else, had to configure "the [email client] they are used to in their normal operating system" at some point to use a relay host, if they wanted it to be able to send email in a way that's accepted by most MX out there, right? The way one does it in Tails is not that different: one enables persistence for the email client, sets their email accounts up, and is done with it. I'm not sure how we could make this easier.
