Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
I' ve set up my e-mail account (pop3 with ssl) in evolution under hardy.
I had deleted the .gonme2_private folder before doing that.
After I gave my password to fetch the mails from the server, the folder was
recreated with the Evolution file in it containing my password in base64
encoding.
I checked, if there was a new password entry in seahorse, but there was none.
This is not, what is expected, since evolution can now use the gnome-
keyring to securely store passwords.
I consider this a security vulnerability, as everyone with access to the
machine can read my passwords, while I'm not logged in, while the gnome-
keyring would prevent this (and make password managing way easier)
Please turn on gnome-keyring support for evolution.
** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
