I can't help but sort of agree that things changed for the worse in
Breezy..   Desktop users want to send email right.. Excellent email
software is installed by default, right..  However it is no longer
possible to send email, and the user is not alerted of this.

It just didn't work for me either and gave up trying to use email.
(Well I thought some day I'd get around to figure out how to install
SMTP but so far I haven't had the time. For sure it would involve
doing config file stuff and as a desktop user I just don't want to
bother with that.
