Description Pal Körössy 2012-06-06 13:53:06 UTC 
In KDE4 the only option to store KMail account-passwords is KWallet. 
I have KMail open in startup and I would prefer an option to store credentials in a config-file instead of bugging me by KWallet everytime on startup, even it's not safe enough. 
Now to avoid this problem the only option is to use a passwordless Wallet but I don't want my important passwords for webpages (internetbanking etc.) to be unsafe.
This bug is a reopening of bug#97925.

Reproducible: Always

This bug still exists in 4.10.1.

I would like to see that functionality returned. In Kmail1 the passwords were stored in the kmailrc and were encrypted. Users moving from KMail1 to KMail2 who are not using or never used kwallet get confused when KMail2 asks for passwords with each fresh KDE session.

When creating POP3 accounts in KMail2 the password text box is disabled and users can't enter a password because kwallet is the only option in KMail2. Being required to use kwallet is not intuitive to users who don't use or never have used kwallet.

Currently the only solutions are to type all passwords every fresh session or use kwallet.

Using kwallet is a reasonable approach but there are many non enterprise users who do not need or want that complexity. :)

We didn't do it.
All resources use it.
You can create an empty password for kwallet if you want.

You recommand to create (In reply to comment #2)
> You can create an empty password for kwallet if you want.

Would you please tell me how to configure KMail to use a passwordless wallet while keeping my default, password-protected wallet at the same time?
Comment 4 Laurent Montel 2013-03-26 18:41:38 UTC 
you can't.
So if you already use kwallet you can continue
But we never disable it in kdepim*
