Description Stefan 2007-08-21 12:01:07 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When using ANONYMOUS authentication for IMAP, the possibility to enter username/password should be disabled completely.

Currently KMail keeps asking me for a username/password combination, and if I click OK many times, access to the IMAP account works. Even if I check "save password" KMail keeps asking me.

The whole purpose of ANONYMOUS authentication is that you don't need a password.

If you want to reproduce, you can use "dovecot.org" as IMAP server hostname, it contains the mailing list archives of the Dovecot IMAP server project.
