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. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
