Is there a fix or workaround for this?
Just to clarify, there doesn't seem to be a problem with IMAP4 passwords, only with SMTP. When updating to kde-frameworks/kwallet-5.34.0-r1 I noticed this elog message, which implies I should no longer need the old kwalletd4: "LOG: postinst Starting with 5.34.0-r1, kwallet is able to serve applications that still require old kwalletd4. After migration has finished, kde-apps/kwalletd can be removed." So, do I have to wait for Kmail:4 to be updated to Kmail:5 before I give up on kwalletd4 despite the above message? -- Regards, Mick
