Evolution POP server account P/W was lost without warning

[Alexandra Crawford]

The password to the POP server has gone missing without any interaction or warning. Q. If this computer has been compromised, the loss of the POP P/W represents a possible attack because Evolution requests the P/W by dialogue window. Would this be better serviced by a warning and consideration of how , if feasible, restoration can be achieved securely?

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
