Hello,
After my last upgrade, Kmail/Kontact and Kwallet are not working
together correctly.
Upon login, somehow I got prompted with a Kwallet Migration box asking
for my Kwallet password. Given the password, the box throw an Error
-3: probably not a Kwallet file (or something like that), and ask for
another password. After several tries I had to hit Cancel to get rid
of the box.
Then when I open Kontact, Kmail asks every password of my accounts
(presumably because it cannot obtain them). I tried 'editing' Sending
account and made sure I checked the box "Save password" to try to
re-save the password, but it still won't work (Kmail ask password
again if I close it and re-open and try to send email).
However, if I open manually KWallet Manager, I can see all of my Kmail
IMAP passwords there. The only application connected to the wallet is
however Kwalletmanager5.
It sounds like you're confusing this a little.
You have 2 kwallets, one for kde4 apps (like kmail), one for kf5 apps.
kmail is a kde4 application, so to query the kde4 kwallet, use
kwalletmanager
kwalletmanager5 is for the kf5 kwallet.
The migration thing is trying to help you migrate your kde4 kwallet content
to the kf5 kwallet (which is IMO rarely helpful, so is generally silly).
I'd argued we should disable that by default (but I'm in the minority).
