It fails at the beginning of my user session and asks every few minutes again for password. Always after some unsuccessful connections to kwallet, a small window appears with some message like "kmail couldn't connnect to kwallet a few times, maybe a bug in the program"(my DE is german). Other programs such as kopete or quassel are still working well with kwallet. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: → Enter new user session → enter kwallet password → try to check mails Actual Results: kmail connecting to kwallet fails and asks for a password manually. Expected Results: kmail should connect correctly to kwallet and use its stored password to check the mails. Happend after update: KDE 4.6.0 → 4.6.1 Kmail wasn't updatet.

The only difference now is, that kontact asks for kwallet password not only when checking mails at the beginning, but also when sending a mail the first time in a session. If that's what it should be or not, I don't know.

My first IMAP account (set up back on KDE 4.4.2) behaves as expected, but with my second IMAP account (set up a few days ago) I got the message that KWallet was unavailable when setting up the account, and having declined the option to have KMail store it in its own configuration files, I got asked for the password every time I started Kontact, and the error about KWallet not being available every time I closed it. However, I have managed to workaround the problem (touch wood) using the first account as a template. With Kontact/KMail closed: 1. Open ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc. 2. Locate the configuration block for the offending account and change 'store-passwd=false' to 'store-passwd=true' (and save). 3. Note the numeric identity for the account at the start of that configuration block (say, Account 1234567890) 4. Open up KDE Wallet Manager, and the default wallet 5. Find the entry 'kmail', select 'Passwords' and right-click or press Ins to add new entry. 6. Name the entry after the numeric account identity (e.g. account-123457890) and add the password (and save). I presume this means that KMail now has a problem with writing passwords to KWallet, and won't change the 'store-passwd' setting until it has, but that it has no trouble reading from KWallet.

Same experience here in Kubuntu 11.04, KDE SC 4.6.4 KMail 1.13.6. I have 2 IMAP accounts that works OK but when I added a new POP3 account KMail can communicate with KWallet. I'll try your workaround and see if it works for me.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
