I am now using KMail 5.5.2 [not selectable in the version drop down].

After deliberately setting wrong passwords for receiving mails, a popup dialog
is opened _in the background_ (behind Kontact). But at least it's telling me
what's wrong and it won't disappear without interaction.

But setting a wrong password for the SMTP server still only triggers a
notification and no dialog. And this says the server wouldn't support PLAIN
(which is plain wrong ;-) ). The size of the notification is now big enough for
me to read everything, though.

This bug has never been confirmed for a Kontact version that is based on KDE
Frameworks, except possibly a Technology Preview version 5.0.x. Those versions
differ significantly from the old 4.x series. Therefore, I plan to close it in
around two or three months. In the meantime, it is set to WAITINGFORINFO to
give reporters the opportunity to check if it is still valid. As soon as
someone confirms it for a recent version (at least 5.1, ideally even more
recent), I'll gladly reopen it.

Please understand that we lack the manpower to triage bugs reported for
versions almost two years beyond their end of life.

Just to show how this can be a problem: the reason for me not being able to
send an email was that the new KMail uses kwallet5 which didn't provide the
correct password. But as KMail's popup told me my problem is the authtication
*method* (PLAIN not supported...) and, as written above, the message from the
server itself was not readable, I didn't expect any problems with my
credentials. After changing the password manually sending emails works again.

Oh, and the popup is shown "anywhere" but not near or even in the notification
area of Plasma. But that could also be a KWin or Plasma problem (as they both
are struggeling a lot with multiple screens). I'm just mentioning it as this
could lead to more people not even ever realising there was a message
displayed. As this is an error message a modal dialog seems more appropriate.
But that's another story ;-)
