I have not removed the description to the provider type in any of the
patches.  IMO that is vital.  

People who have no idea what IMAP/POP/etc are would be at a severe
disadvantage when trying to use Evolution without the descriptions. 
Some of the descriptions are somewhat vague.  The POP description says
something like "connects to a POP server".  So if I am a first time
user, I would be thinking... what is POP?  I don't know if there is a
better way to explain it or not, -just an observation really.

Try the patch and let me know what you think. :)
