right, the current account management for non-mail things suck
currently, but we decided to do it the camel way, like the Exchange

solution was to have a separated config control only for groupwise.

Of course, we need to address this for post-2.0, so that we don't have
to write camel providers for bugzilla calendar backends, for instance.
