 By the "first-time account setup", do you mean the account wizard that is
 shown the first time after TorBirdy is installed?

 > b) the account creation wizard disables automatic detection of settings
 (for privacy) but then leaves the user of TorBirdy on their own to notice
 setting up smtp properly (which isn't immediately apparent)

 Yeah we are aware of this and I agree, but then until Thunderbird fixes
 the leaks in the auto-configuration wizard, I guess it's better that a
 user has problems configuring their account as compared to leaking
 personal information...

 (I tried to address some of these concerns in the [wiki:torbirdy
 documentation])
