SUMMARY I'm getting a log, and my smtp password for google isn't saving, it's super weird. STEPS TO REPRODUCE I'm not 100% on this, I feel like there might be another thing I'm missing 1. enable app armor 2. use gmail settings for kmail 3. send email OBSERVED RESULT kmail always asks for the smtp password, for some reason this is only happening for smtp, and only gmail, so weird. I'm seeing this log AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="/usr/bin/akonadiserver" name="/etc/authselect/nsswitch.conf" pid=31873 comm="0x557056b51380-" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 EXPECTED RESULT password should be getting saved, no error SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS apparmor: 3.0.1 Akonadi: 21.0.8 Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.10.59-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-10610U CPU @ 1.80GHz Memory: 15.4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION here's the additional surrounding logs, they might be relevant, not sure The reason I think it might be a KDE bug, is because it looks like the last "arch" bug like this got resolved in KDE. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64890 Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) org.kde.pim.messagecomposer: Impossible to specify TO!

I no longer think this is app armor, at least not the source of my problem. I disabled app armor, rebooted my system and the problem stil exists where it isn't persisting the smtp password. I've tried editing the sending settings, and adding it there with the save box checked. I come back there's no ***, when it asks me on send I make sure the save box is checked. still nothing, still asks me the next time. I could do with a workaround. I'd save the password myself if I knew what it was going to look at. I have looked via kwallet manager and under mailtransports -> passwords it is saved in there, and it's the same password as under imap -> akonadi... and when I paste it into the prompt on send it works.
Ok, more weirdness I wiped out the imap and the mailtransports in kwallet manager after closing kontact first. I came back, and imap is still getting fetched without those; and saving the password still doesn't take even though one was added to mailtransports.

Confirming this for kmail2 5.19.1 (21.12.1) under openSUSE 15.3. Also tried removing passwords from kwallet and the SMTP configuration, to no avail. Starting kmail in the command line and sending the first email shows two suspicious messages at the end (see below). Unfortunately, they are quite uninformative. Also it's weird that the SMTP password is requested only upon sending the first email after login; all subsequent emails are sent without asking again for the password - until the next login.

I have what appears to be the same problem with kmail2 5.19.3 (21.12.3) on xubuntu, latest LTS, just upgraded. Akonadi stores the password in kwallet (I can see it in the kwallet manager) but the akonadi log shows the "entry not found" warning, i.e. it stores, but cannot retrieve. I get asked for the smtp password every time. There is no problem with receiving, imap passwords are retrieved without a problem. I love kmail despite its faults, entering smtp passwords every time makes it unusable except for reading mail.
Follow up to comment 7: I tried setting up an account on with a fresh user with kmail started for the first time. The same problem with smtp passwords exists. Did anyone find a workaround? All my accounts require smtp passwords.
KMailTransport (the library that is actually storing the password) is using KWallet directly to store passwords, but using QKeyChain to read the passwords. For a clean KDE environment QKeychain will use KWallet, but for other environments it is using an different backend. That's why only people are affected that are not running a Plasma desktop. You can treat QtKeyChain by environemt variables as workaround: KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 and XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde or look at the decision path: https://github.com/frankosterfeld/qtkeychain/blob/master/keychain_unix.cpp#L100

And I tried plasma-desktop, which indeed does not have the problem.

The bug is not fixed. Somebody has a kid sister and KMail requires an account password to send each and every email message.
