You can add an new account by calling GearyController.validate_async() 
with the appropriate account information.  But the AccountDialog 
already does that an an appropriate place.  Once there's a way to 
specify a UOA-defined account in the AddEditPage, I would expect that 
to work without too much futzing.

Before you worry too much about that, though: If you're new to the 
Geary source and you're finding it complicated, 714877 is probably not 
the best bug to start with.  It cuts across the client and the engine 
code and will require a number a different parts to all fit together.  
You'd probably be better off starting with a smaller bug, to get some 
familiarity with the source.  747893 might be a good place to begin.
