My workaround was similar as originally posted - by changing the server type to IMAP, connecting, and then reverting back to pop. This worked even in instances where you have to have a "premium" account to use IMAP (such as Gmx.net) but I am a "freemail" user and hence can only access pop and smtp.
Unlike the previous post, I am using SSL to connect in POP, IMAP and SMTP. It is inconsistent. I have about 14 email accounts. I reinstalled Ubuntu after having tried other distros and restored from my Evolution backup. 12/14 remembered the password flawlessly whereas 2 did not.
