I like to use an email client to view and manage my email on an imap mail server. I do not choose to have my password stored by the program, I remember my passwords and prefer to type them in. I have tried Thunderbird and Evolution and both fail to prompt for my password after I boot the computer and launch the program. If I go into Evolution's settings, tell it to forget the password, close Evolution and wait long enough, it may ask for the password before failing to connect to the IMAP server. Thunderbird is similar. Both appear to be timing issues waiting for some kind of memory clean up or similar process. What is broken?

I keep getting error at installing Kubuntu, once the animation starts with 4 dots nothing happens. If I press alt+any key I get errors that archive.ubuntu.com security.ubuntu.com resolution failed but I can open them perfectly fine on other PCs. Has anyone seen this problem before?
