Interesting… I can confirm that I couldn’t change my password (for an invalid one, at any rate) on a Jolla C, 4.0.1.48.
Didn’t see what OP posted on the journal.
This is an old bug for many years now, mentioned several times - so far the only solution that works is to delete the account and create a new account from the scratch.
When setting up a phone from the backup file you are encountering the same problem, see this thread
I have hit a related problem, that is difficult to reproduce it involves an issue at the server to trigger.
Email type: IMAP/POP
Device: Sony XA2 using latest Sailfish version.
A couple of days ago there was an authentication issue on the email server that meant that attempts to check email failed with authenticaion failure. This was for attempts from two different devices (Sailfish & Adnroid) and to two related server accounts.
When the server issue was resolved, the Android worked fine, but the Sailfish account now had its passwords set to “default” and so continued to fail. I was unable to change the password back to the correct value.
The only workaround was to delete the account and recreate it, with the correct password.
This is so annoying and accompanying us since many years now. And still in 4.3.0!
So each time restoring a backup you are forced to re-create your mail accounts?!
What kind of …lost words…
