My guess is that majority of email accounts aren't going to be AOL accounts. So the radio button on the wizard should select Other ISP or email provider by default.
I thought this was a dupe, but I can't find the dupe.

I can't find it either. I thought we had a bug asking for the opposite (to default to AOL mail).

Referring to the Account Setup spec it shows that the "Other ISP or email provider" should be the default. http://gooey/client/5.0/specs/mail/accountSetup/accountSetup.html
Minor UI fixups to M18. If this is incorrect, please adjust.
Target Milestone: M17 → M18
If the majority of people are going to use the "Other ISP or email provider" option then I think it should be the default and should be in RTM.

Build 2000-07-17-08M17: NT4, Linux 6.0, Mac 9.04 I know that the Account Wizard's first dialog is going to change but for this build it's defaulting to "Other ISP or email provider".
Yeah, I actually fixed this when I fixed some other bugs.. I expect it to stay fixed even when the first screen changes, so I'm marking fixed now
