Hmm. In my context on the left there is a news.gmane.io between Blogs &
News Feeds and Local Folders. When expanded it shows nested selections
as well:
news.gmane.io
Server Settings
Copies & Folders
Composition & Addressing
Synchronization & Storage
Selecting the Server Settings row shows a dialog analogous to your image.
But selecting the news.gmane.io row itself instead has:
Account Settings - news.gmane.io
Account Name:
[ news.gmane.io ] (NOTE: an input field)
Default Identity
Your Name: [ ]
Email Address: [ ]
Reply-to Address: [ ]
Organization: [ ]
Signature text: [] Use HTML (e.g, <b>bold</b>) (NOTE: a check box)
[
] (NOTE: a bigger box for multiple lines)
[] Attach the signature from a file instead (test, HTML, or image):
(NOTE: a check box)
[ ] (Choose...) (NOTE: a input field and a button)
[] Attach me vCard to messages (Edit Card...)
(NOTE: a check box and a button)
Outgoing Server (SMTP): [Use Default Server ] (Edit SMTP server...)
(Manage Identities...)
(NOTE: a popup then 2 buttons)
The SMTP Server edit dialog has:
Settings
Description: [ ]
Server Name: [ ]
Port: [ 465 ] Default:465
Security and Authentication
Connection security: SSL/TLS (NOTE: a popup)
Authentication method: Normal password (NOTE: a popup)
User Name: [ ] (NOTE: an input field)
(Cancel) (OK) (NOTE: two buttons)
I did not edit anything in any of:
Copies & Folders
Composition & Addressing
Synchronization & Storage
as I remember.
