No there are no entries in it at all. Not long after sending my last mail 
kontact crashed and guess what all of the password fields emptied!

Spooky or what. Makes me really wonder about KDE etc security.

I do seem to know 2 of them. When I entered them kmail asked to use kwallet 
but then kwallet wouldn't accept a password which I assume is needed to get 
into kwallet?
 Think I need to know how to get kmail to use kwallet and why it asked for a 
password that I haven't set up. I did set one up for a folder called testit 
but it wouldn't take that either.
