Icedove Account Creation help

[Melvin Call]

Hello list,

I have a quick question regarding the version of Icedove included in Wheezy. When I go to set up an email account, the account creation steps have changed from earlier versions, and some type of wizard is run that tries to contact the server and automatically configure the account. I would like to continue manually configuring accounts without any help. Can anyone explain to me how to disable this automatic configuration feature?

Thanks,
Melvin

I forgot to mention that the instructions I found on the Mozilla support
page
(https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/manual-account-configuration) do not work, but I think I just figured it out, after trying for two days.

Open the Account Settings dialog
Select Add Mail Account under the Account Actions option list
Enter the relevant information and click on Continue
As soon as the "Looking up configuration..." message appears, click the
Manual Config button. This stops the automatic set up and drops you to a
screen that allows you to configure the parameters manually.
Click the Create Account button.

Sorry to bother everyone with this.
