Bug#1110087: evolution: fails to forget password on close, and logout

[Richard Betham]

Package: evolution
Version: 3.46.4-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: richard at betham.org.uk

Dear Maintainer,

When I boot up my computer, log in, and open evolution, and then ask it to POP e-mail --- it does so without asking for my password.

I would prefer that it asks for my password at each session, when I first ask it to POP e-mail.
If it does not ask, then somebody else might interfere with my e-mail account, if I allowed them to use my computer to, for example, to use my browser.
Also, if I only very rarely enter my password, I will forget it.
Some people might prefer that evolution does not ask for the password after each login, perhaps the team could make the system configurable on this point.

Thank you all very much for maintaining evolution for us all.

with best regards from
Richard Betham
