  • Subject changed from Account name to add method to differentiate accounts with the same username
  • Priority changed from Low to Normal
  • Target version set to v15 - AWESOME APP

I consider this a bug, it is definitely confusing. I can see a couple of ways to do this:

  • include an icon for the service type next to each account (e.g. XMPP, Gmail, Facebook, XMPP-Bonjour, etc)
  • automatically detect if the usernames are the same, and if so, also include the domain name
  • allow users to set an alias for each account
