For Kmail KWallet is not available

Sat Oct 31, 2015 10:34 pm
Hi,
get on all my systems this warning:
KWallet is not available. It is strongly recommended to use KWallet for managing your passwords.
However, the password can be stored in the configuration file instead. The password is stored in an obfuscated format, but should not be considered secure from decryption efforts if access to the configuration file is obtained.
Do you want to store the password for server 'My Mail Server (My Address)' in the configuration file?

What does it mean and can I still use the configuration file? My Wallet is activated and open (with blank password).

What version of PIM are you using?

Umm, I'm using Apps 15.08.2, Framework 5.15.0, Qt 5.5.1, Plasma 5.4.2. I hope at least one of these numbers tells you the "version of PIM". ;)

Ensure you have kwalletd5 (notice the "5") running. Distros ship both the 4.x version and the 5.x version. If you have KMail 4.14 (check in about KMail in the help menu) it needs the old kwallet, and if you use the KF5 KMail (shipped in 15.08.2, which I think you're using) it needs the KF5 version ("kwalletd5").

Alternatively, if you're seeing this with SMTP, put in your credentials, and logout / login. Then it should (hopefully) work.
