Those files were never supposed to ever be in libedataserver, that was a
hack that someone came up with for some reason, but I don't know what it
was.  They are specifically and only for email accounts, which do not
belong in eds.

This appears to be the only reason libedataserver/e-account.h exists:

./servers/exchange/lib/e2k-autoconfig.c:#include
<libedataserver/e-account.h>

But surely this sort of stuff should be in a plugin now, shouldn't it?
