My situation is different, since I use kwallet-pam. That one will start kwallet5 automatically and I am not asked by KMail for passwords (after it now also uses kwallet5). >> Note, you should install knotify:4 if you want notifications about failed >> mail delivery from KMail.

I simply recognized following line in the error log: akonadi_newmailnotifier_agent(6002)/kdeui (KNotification) KNotification::slotReceivedIdError: Error while contacting notify daemon "The name org.kde.knotify was not provided by any .service files" After installing knotify:4 I suddenly got desktopn messages from KMail again. > A user complained that new messages no longer create a popup. Seems to match the error log. Cheers, Jörg
