Dear People,
Would like to know if it is possible to store the pop password in kmail2
without using kwallet.
Only want to add the password during the initial configuration and not
three times a day.

Or is fetchmail my only alternative?

With kind regards,

Peter

I am using claws-mail. Your problem is one reason why. I would like to
ditch KDE completely. My desktop is Xfce, but I still use kwrite and knode.

A more extreme answer is to go back to KDE3, and there are plenty who have
done it. Just search Google.

Doug.

Well i liked KDE, but last years there is a strange development, things like Kwallet,
Nepomuk, Akonadi are not so appeasing.

I started 10 years ago with Linux and find KDE the best usable after having tried most of the others.
Using Kmail with the help of fetchmail works fine for me now. Hated Gnome from the start.

Kind Regards,

Peter

I've got Slackware 12.2 on one machine, and variants of 13.x on the others.
If ya don't need what's in 13, 12's just fine :-) The KDE-4 is shaking out
ok.

Thunderbird works fine with KDE, stores its own password, KDE 4.4.5
running on Kubuntu 10.04.

Finally settled on Trinity, which is KDE 3.5 clone. I also use Claws
mail.. the only time I boot KDE4 is to use Okular and I do that
because the save as text feature works marginally better than the
current Acroread.
