Set the "sasl" USE flag for kde-base/kdepim-kioslaves. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 204685 ***
>Set the "sasl" USE flag for kde-base/kdepim-kioslaves. Has been that way all along (and still is).
Caused by enabling "Reuse host and login configuration" in trying to get kmail to support Sieve under the IMAP Filtering section. Previous version did not provide this error - but I also never got it to display my sieve scripts either (and neither does this one) :( I'm guessing it's not a bug at this point, just an additional error message that the previous version did not have.
