Public bug reported:
Per LP: #2049513, Online Accounts integration was removed as opposed to
finding a downstream solution, which would have been as easy as using
the default web browser instead of a webkitgtk-powered popup.
Unfortunately, even though potential ideas were tossed around during the
Ubuntu Flavor Sync at Ubuntu Summit 2023 in Riga and the following
flavor sync online, obviously nothing ever came to fruition.
This issue is especially important to Edubuntu as one of its target
audiences (teachers) want to be able to set-up their systems for email
right away. gnome-initial-setup would give them that email setup out-of-
the-box.
This is a User Experience regression and a solution needs to be found
even if we need to implement one downstream.
