Summary: KMail stopped recognizing KWallet for password for
specific SMTP server
Product: kmail2
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: config dialog
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
ReportedBy: a.vanl...@alexandervanloon.nl
Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.90)
OS: Linux
KMail gives the following error message if I try to enter a password for an
SMTP server:
KWallet is not available. It is strongly recommended to use KWallet for
managing your passwords.
However, the password can be stored in the configuration file instead. The
password is stored in an obfuscated format, but should not be considered secure
from decryption efforts if access to the configuration file is obtained.
Do you want to store the password for server 'smtp.gmail.com' in the
configuration file?
It then offers the options 'Store Password' and 'Do Not Store Password'.
However, KWallet seems to be fine so the error message is unjustified. I
apparently worked around the problem by simply sending an e-mail through the
specific SMTP server. Then KMail asks for the password on it's own initiative,
and then the password also appears in the settings. Without any further
complaints that KWallet is unavailable. This also means that I can no longer
reproduce the bug.
This is on KDE SC 4.6 RC1 with KDE PIM 4.6 beta 3.
Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
Not sure how it started to happen. For the first e-mail account I added KWallet
stored the passwords fine, now that I have added a second one it starts
complaining when I need it to remember the passwords for the SMTP server. The
password for the IMAP server is remembered correctly.
