[Gta04-owner] Setting up a working mail account in QtMoko v55

[Gabor Laszlo]

you could have picked a shittier mail provider, but not by much...
Try setting up the account in Thunderbird first, make sure it works, and
use those settings.
I got it to work on GTA02/QtMoko48 with yahoo mail with minimal fiddling,
so I'm thinking it's not the moko's fault.
