Hello *,

I have been trying to customize our mozilla installation so that
people with new accounts can easily access our mail
services. Imitating the CCK I learned that I just have to create a
mozilla/defaults/isp/mailaccount.rdf file like the one given in the
examples or the one at the end of this message. 

This works great!

However, I would also like to set up a default directory server for
address completion etc. I can't really make much sense of the source
code (yet), so I would appreciate any information on whether this is
easily feasible currently. A concrete question: where is the layout of
the RDF file defined, e.g., where does it say, that below
incomingServer there is IDL entry nsIMsgIncomingServer?

Thanks a lot in advance for any advice,
Hein
