           Summary: KMail assumes KWallet is not available when you click
                    "Cancel" on KWallet prompt
           Product: kmail
           Version: SVN trunk (KDE 4)
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: sending
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mpyne at kde.org


So there I am sending an email, and realize right after I click Send that I
forgot to include some important tidbit.

Luckily I haven't send an email in more than 10 minutes, so KWallet pops up to
unlock the password to my SMTP provider.  So I click Cancel, and the send is
aborted. "GREAT SUCCESS" :)

Unfortunately, from then on every time KMail would have accessed KWallet for
passwords (i.e. POP3, further SMTP) it prompts me to enter the password
manually.  But the password is there in the wallet, I just need to unlock it,
but KMail won't ask me to :(

Expected behavior is that if the entry is available in the Wallet that KMail
attempt to use it even if it was previously canceled.

Now this could be a KWallet bug I suppose (in that it doesn't return a
"Canceled by user" error when calling openWallet() or because KWallet itself is
caching the status of openWallet()).  If so, my humblest apologies oh PIMsters.
:)
