When logging in, I did not enter the requested passwords for the mail dispatcher, kmail or anything. This seems to cause the dispatch agent to fail on startup, whereas it is not started after I logged in. The problem is, that I cannot restart it. I need to reboot and enter the appropriate passwords after logging in, so the agent starts and I can actually use Kmail and so on... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do not enter passwords in kwallet after login 2. check whether mail_dispatch_agent is running -> it is not (for me). I cannot restart it 3. reboot and enter the passwords in the kwallet dialog after login. The dispatch agent runs now as expected Expected Results: mail_dispatch_agent should be restartable, asking for the password from kwallet. I'm not entirely sure whether this is a kwallet issue or a akonadi/mail_dispatch_agent one. Feel free to ask me to investigate further, but please provide every piece of information I need to do it, I'm a KDE newbie.
This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 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.
