I do not think there is a problem with the accounts, but with their
origins. I don't like the solution to avoid account synchronization
from our configuration file, because in that case Genesis would be
something more than a SE frontend, and I think it's not desirable.
What about if the user use another frontend after using Genesis?, the
account will be enabled in that case.

Mmm, I think you're right. Another option would be to store the in the
config the sources marked as synchronized before the user disabled the
account. Thus if the user wants to enable it again, we will be able to
remember them. I think it's less instrusive. What do you think? SE
should provide this functionality, but it might work for now.

Oks, I've not had time to test it, but I could try to test it this week.

It still lacks some work, but probably in two or three weekends would be ready.

Good night, cheers!!! :-)
