           Summary: Cannot disable IMAP/POP3 password saving if kwallet is
                    enabled: Add "save password" checkbox to account
                    configuration
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 1.6.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: triffterer at gmx.de


Version:           1.6.0 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

In KMail2/Akonadi you cannot choose whether the password for a POP3 or IMAP
resource should be stored at all.
If kwallet is enabled, Akonadi tries to save all passwords to your wallet and
does not connect to the server if you deny access to your wallet.
If kwallet is disabled, it asks for the password every time.

I would like / need the combination of both: I would like Akonadi/KMail2 to ask
for some passwords every time and to not store them anywhere although kwallet
is enabled.

KMail 1.x had a checkbox in the account details where I could choose whether I
want the password to be stored or not. I would like to have this also in
KMail2. If the password is not stored, I have to enter it every time I start
KMail of course, but I am happy with that.

KMail2 features such a checkbox for the SMTP accounts, but not for IMAP and
POP3.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create an IMAP or POP3 account in KMail2 or the Akonadi module in the system
settings.

Actual Results:  
You cannot choose whether you want your password to be stored.
If you deny access to your wallet, KMail will not download any e-mails although
you click the appropriate button.

Expected Results:  
There should be an option to tell KMail that it should not save the password
(in kwallet or elsewhere) but prompt me every time the password is needed.

This is NOT about the question if KMail should work without kwallet and store
the passwords in the configuration file like KMail 1.x did - it is about
storing the passwords in kwallet (I'm okay with that) and not storing them at
all.
