Description Steve Grubb 2007-06-10 21:30:07 UTC

Description of problem:
After upgrade from FC6 to F7, kmail forgot the account password and refuses to
authenticate. I've tried everything I can think of and it just won't
authenticate. Using kmail on FC6 still works.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdepim-3.5.6-4.fc7

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start kmail
2. Asks for password, type it in
  
Actual results:
Message saying password was wrong

Expected results:
My email

Additional info:
Starting kmail from command line doesn't give any extra information. Starting
kwalletmanager doesn't do anything. Doing kinit before starting doesn't help either.

Comment 1 Steve Grubb 2007-06-11 11:08:02 UTC

I deleted all kde related directories in /tmp and went into the .kde folder in
my home directory and deleted the symlinks to /tmp. I editted gnome session
manager to not have any kde sessions started. Now, if I start kwalletmanager
before anything else kde is running, it still doesn't remember the password,
even though remember password box is checked. But when I type in the password,
it does authenticate and I can get to my mail. But it still does not remember
the password next time I start kmail.
