Yes, it can. :)
Neither of those facts seems to be the issue here. If you still have
that mail somewhere, I'd like to have a look at it (if it does not
contain sensitive data). The *raw* mail, that is.

You simply can ignore almost all of that spewage.

Not sure either, since your passwords are stored elsewhere [1], but if
there has been an issue with the accounts since, Evo does not keep
trying indefinitely, but re-asks for the passwords. Guess something
along these lines happened for you.
Just enter the passwords again and make sure the "remember" option is
checked. You should not be prompted a second time for any (newly)
provided password. HTH
