Since the upgrade, KMail is badgering me to use the wallet contraption to store my passwords. I don't want to do this. How can I get it to leave me alone and just store the passwords obfuscated in its settings file the way it has all along?
As kwallet is considered safer than storing it in a config file, the kmail devels decided to take the safer option. I am not sure, if there is a way to store the password in the file anymore, there was in beta1, but they might have removed it due to it being too confusing to have the option to chose a less safe storage. If you are looking for an answer, you might try #kontact on freenode, or subscribe to the kmail-devel list on www.kde.org.
I'm sure it is, probably. I find it inconvenient, and I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with making sure mail gets retrieved when I'm away from home for extended periods and I don't want my mail to pile up at the various servers.
I'll admit there's one upshot I hadn't originally considered. I have one password stored in my KMail configuration that I'd forgotten! Now I know what it is. Whew!
Secondly, some of my mail servers require an authentication or security mode that KMail no longer seems to be able to supply. I'm getting alerts when transferring mail with some servers that state:
You should try to install the remaining SASL-packages, SuSE missed those dependencies.

Udo said the same. Doing so fixed the problem.
