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.

Title:
  Evolution POP server account P/W was lost without warning

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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?
