I can confirm this problem in general. Kmail asks for a password at startup or once I click some folder (not synchronized before) for IMAP account with GSSAPI auth. Asking for password every 5-10 minutes was fixed in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311456 KDE neon 5.10 KDE Plasma 5.10.5 KDE Frameworks 5.38.0 KDE Applications 17.08.1 Qt 5.9.1 I think some more places in code should not check password emptiness for GSSAPI account, for example I can not change subscription right clicking on account in folders tree. Probably because of this piece of code https://cgit.kde.org/kdepim-runtime.git/tree/resources/imap/imapresourcebase.cpp#n262 I confirm this bug, please fix again kmail with GSSAPI. installed packages: kf5-plasma-5.40.0-1.fc27.x86_64 kmail-17.08.1-1.fc27.x86_64 The bug still present in kdepim-runtime 17.12.0-0neon+16.04+xenial+build38 It asks password once on startup. It got better in kmail-17.12.3 (Leap 15.0) but it still occasionally prompts for password despite GSSAPI authentication. I think I got the prompt on startup and sometimes if I click "Check Mail" or so. It is still valid in 18.08.1 kdepim-runtime/xenial,now 4:18.08.1-0xneon+16.04+xenial+build64 amd64 It is still present in 18.12 kdepim-runtime/bionic,now 4:18.12.0-0xneon+18.04+bionic+build17 This actually happens in kdepim-runtime/resources/imap/sessionpool.cpp. There’s some code to ensure that no password is requested for GSSAPI, but it’s not used in all cases.

*** Bug 414013 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Git commit 163968040f4b9201e47b98e00cf686b2c6f2f97f by Christophe Giboudeaux, on behalf of Martin Herkt. Committed on 26/11/2019 at 08:33. Pushed by cgiboudeaux into branch 'release/19.12'. IMAP resource: do not prompt for password with GSSAPI auth Summary: GSSAPI (e.g. when used with Kerberos) does not use passwords, so make sure the user is not prompted unnecessarily.
