Description michael.zugaro 2012-08-12 09:46:02 UTC

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ssh <host> kontact

3.
Actual Results:  
Opens dialogs to request passwords

Expected Results:  
Open KWalletManager to retrive passwords

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 kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

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.
