On the other hand, provisioned device-ids are at a premium. It's OK right
now while we're testing, but remember that in production there are
various external steps you may have to go through to get a new device
approved for provisioning. In the common case that you have a mail client
and a sync client both accessing the server, we *don't* want that to
appear as two devices.
For that case we have the common setup UI which creates the mail and
sync config sharing the same account in gconf.
