Description daniel 2006-11-10 19:10:15 UTC 
Distribution: Debian testing/unstable
Package: Evolution
Severity: minor
Version:  2.6.x
Synopsis: unable to save empty password
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer
Bugzilla-Version: 2.6.x
Description:
Description of Problem:
I fetch my mails from a local mailserver, so that I don't need
passwords. Because of that, I use an empty password. Everytime starting
Evolution it asks me for this password. If I opt-in the checkbox "save
password", it asks me ever time when fetching the mails, if I don't
opt-in it asks me only when I restart evolution

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. In the options, set "Legitimation" (don't know if that's the correct
word, in the german translation it's "Legitimationsart") to "Login"
(german "Anmelden")
2. enter an empty password
3. fetch/send mail

Actual Results:


Expected Results:


How often does this happen?
Always

Comment 1 André Klapper 2012-08-06 16:46:24 UTC 
But why does it require a password (legitimation / authentification) at all then if there is none? I don't understand why it is set up like this...
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2012-08-06 18:14:11 UTC 
Agreed on WONTFIX.  Fringe corner case not worth supporting.
