[liberationtech] Blackberry 10 Sends Full Email Account Credentials To RIM

[Ali-Reza Anghaie]

This is only ~mildly~ new - this is how they're service always worked
for most non-BEM addresses. From their design standpoint, for the
delivery mode they were promising, it made more sense than having your
device poll constantly (battery).

Obviously it's still not cool - I'm just failing to see why the actual
biggest-breakage here is "new"? -Ali
