Description Theo Bald 2009-12-04 08:06:45 UTC

Version:           1.12.3 (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

The configuration dialog in Kontact does not save Kmail SMTP password. Reproduce like this:
1. Edit account for outgoing mail.
2. Set to use SSL enryption.
3. In advanced check authentication.
4. Enter usename and password.
5. Check save password.
6. Click ok.
7. Restart from 1. Password not saved.

This is *not* a fresh install. I've been keeping ~/.kde during upgrades since 4.0 was released in Fedora.

Confirmed. When opening the secrets pane in the configuration dialog, the password is "forgotten" and must be reentered.

Comment 2 Anguo 2009-12-30 12:26:48 UTC

Confirmed on Kubuntu 9.10 with Kontact 4.3.4.

Comment 3 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 20:55:45 UTC

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kdepim (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Comment 4 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:06:04 UTC

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
