Hellos SuSE people,

Recently upgrade to KDE3.4 on SuSE 9.2 Have this very aggravating problem with Kwallet which demands that I supply passwords for all of my email accounts (4) and other things. Now, my ISP doesn't require it at every login, so why should Kmail /Kwallet ? (Shades of Microsoft) (Who needs this crap - that is why I quit Windows)

Disabled Kwallet but every time Kmail starts it demands the passwords. I can go in and configure Kmail with the correct passwords and it will behave properly, but the next time I start Kmail it "forgets" my password configuration and demands the individual passwords again. Really getting tired of this BS !! Really don't need automated stuff "looking after me". How do I make Kmail forget about this stupid Kwallet thing that 99% of us don't want or need ???

The same thing happened to me and it really bugged me, too. Here's what I did to get that wallet stuff out of my face and to allow KMail to run unattended: - Launch the wallet manager application. As far as I know, it's nowhere to be found in the K menus, so you have to enter it into a shell or use ALT-F2 and type "kwalletmanager". - In the "Wallet Preferences" tab: -- Settings -> Configure Configure Wallet... -- Disable (uncheck) all the Close options -- Disable "Show manager in system tray" (optional) - In the "Access Control" tab: -- Disable "Prompt when an application accesses an open wallet" Also, in the "Access Control" tab, the outline view shows the Policy "Always allow" under KConfigEditor for the application "kmail". Sadly, I just had to get to this by trial and error and to be honest, I don't know exactly what all this stuff means, exactly. Just that KMail is hounding me about not storing the passwords in its configuration file and that the wallet manager is not repeatedly asking me for a master password.

Got it. It's there in my 9.1, too. I guess I was fixated on looking for "kwallet," 'cause I did look in that sub-menu.

I have no sub-menu "Settings" in my K Menu.

Mine is under Utilities -> Security -> KDE Wallet SuSE 9.1

I also do not have a Security sub-menu in the Utilities menu.

I'm afraid that's a non-sequitur to me at this point. What loss of control are you referring to? Randall Schulz

I am referring to the fact the the wallet kept interrupting me and often refused to lie quiet and sent incorrect passwords to my applications. And settings and control of the wallet just another thing to have to spend time on; I need to do more important things like mastering xemacs, LaTeX, cvs, OpenGL, compiling....

Good luck Randall, Colin

Just that KMail is hounding me about not storing the passwords in its configuration file and that the wallet manager is not repeatedly asking me for a master password. I think they broke kwallet, it did the same thing to me. under the access control, there are no apps showing, kmail isn't there. I also did as you did and turned it off, and told kmail to store the
