Password reset for POP accounts is not obvious.

[nonety]

Ubuntu 8.04, Evolution 2.22.3.1 -- Judging from the number of reports on POP password management under Evolution, this is a weakness in the implementation. As a software developer of some 35 years experience, I find myself amazed that some knowledgeable developer hasn't picked this up to fix it. This bug report is to request, in the strongest possible terms, that there be some kind of password reset mechanism for POP accounts that really works, and is as obvious as the password reset for Launchpad, which I just used to submit this bug report. The reason I need to do this is that I want to change the account passwords on the POP server periodically to lessen the probability of hacking. I thank all of you, collectively, for your attention to this and I hope to see this addressed ASAP with a rational fix.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

A suggestion, I do not know how to write code, but I am pretty strong in observation. Do this, Allow users to go into safe mode in Ubantu and make adjustments to evolution mail. I did not find a way to get into safe mode, perhaps someone else knows how to do this. If there is a program, I guarantee you, there exist a safe mode as well as a way to reboot.

Has someone sent this upstream? May you tell us the upstream bugnumber so we can link the bug here? For instructions see Sebastien's comment. Thanks in advance.
