Bug 371286 – kmail2 fails to download any messages

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Waldemar Szostak 2011-06-12 17:02:27 UTC]

I can't download any messages after moving to kmail2. The folders appear to
have been migrated correctly as I can view all of my folder as well as the
messages contained in them.

Regardless of whether the check for new msgs is launched at startup, manually
or restarted, it always gets stuck at 'Preparing for transmission with XXX'
(the actual English translation may be slightly different, sorry..)

When launched from the console, there is the following output:
$ kmail
kmail2(3662)/kdeui (Wallet): The kwalletd service has been disabled 
kmail2(3662)/kdeui (Wallet): The kwalletd service has been disabled 
kmail2(3662)/kdeui (Wallet): The kwalletd service has been disabled 
kmail2(3662)/kdeui (Wallet): The kwalletd service has been disabled 
kmail2(3662)/kdeui (Wallet): The kwalletd service has been disabled 
kmail2(3662)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "" with KXMLGUIFactory! 
kmail2(3662)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "" with KXMLGUIFactory! 
kmail2(3662): Error while fetching items.  103 "Unknown error. (Cannot list
root collection.)"


It seems to be the same issue as described in
http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=90234 but I haven't been able to find
a registered bug report for this.

Grayed out password field:

kwallet disabled?

I'm not sure - I don't really know if I've ever used kwallet (I do have it installed, though :) ). The password field is not really greyed out, merely disabled (but I suppose it's a matter of the colour theme used).

Anyway.. when I launched 'akonadictl start' in the console I got no output after opening KMail's POP3 properties window. Of course, I also don't get any window for entering the password either.

[Comment 4 Waldemar Szostak 2011-06-20 23:24:21 UTC]

Ok.. Indeed I had kwallet disabled in Control panel (or System settings) -> Password and user account.

Still, it'd be 'nice' if kMail tried its own window for obtaining passwords from the user or at least complain in a more user friendly way about the unability to use kwallet.

I guess this bug can be closed and I'll also comment on KDE's https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=250773

Thanks for help.
