<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I'm trying to test out KMail (on Debian 12), with my yahoo!mail account. The
wizard asks me to "Provide personal data", and then I click on "Next". Then
it offers IMAP or POP; IMAP is pre-selected, and is what I need, so I leave
that. There's an "Add Account" button under the "Pop" settings, so I leave
that alone, and select "Next". Nothing happens. So I guess maybe I'm
supposed to "Add Account", even though that's what I thought I was already
doing, and even though it seems related to POP, which I'm not wanting to
do? So I select "Add Account", reluctantly, and then a browser window opens
asking me to log into a Google account. I close that window (I'm not
wanting to log into a Google account), and get back to the KMail "Account
Assistant", where it's asking for PGP-related stuff. That's too thick for
my puny brain, so I unselect both checkboxes ("Secure your email?" and
"Publish your key?") and click on "Next". Then I'm told my setup is
complete, and I click on "Finish". That takes me back to the KMail window,
and I find no evidence of my yahoo!mail account; I only find "Local
Folders".
Does KMail require?! a Google account to work with non-Google mail accounts?

No, KMail doesn't require a Google account.
I can reproduce the problem with a @yahoo.com email address. It seems the Add
Account wizard is broken, at least for yahoo email addresses.
As workaround you can add the account in KMail's configuration dialog. Add an
identity for your yahoo email address, add an IMAP account
(imap.mail.yahoo.com) as Receiving account and add an SMTP account
(smtp.mail.yahoo.com) as Sending account.

<p>Thank you for your reply.</p>
<p>I get to the point below. The "Next" button does nothing, and the
"Add Account" button results in the "Log into Google" window.<br>
