Hi Jens,

I don't see the benefits of letting the resource store your passwords in
unencrypted files scattered through your hard drive (and I doubt that everybody
has access to military-grade data destruction facilities ;). The benefit of
using KWallet is that your passwords are encrypted and theorically safe (though
I'm not sure that using KWallet without a password is not a glorified
spreadsheet with all your passwords ripe for recovery in it). I'm unlikely to
do this kind of thing in the resource and would oppose this kind of
modification that would result in a lesser security for the user, unless
re-inventing KWallet.

The best I could do is to have the resource not store any password and prompt
the user for it at each start.

For davmail are the URLs that appear in your configuration file
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278420#c9) standard, and can they be used
as a template? Adding this is a matter of minutes, but will not be shipped
before KDE SC 4.8 (there are translations issues).

Finally regarding the "Abort" this was fixed in KDE SC 4.7 iirc. Though I'm not
sure when I committed this, so I may very well be wrong and in that case it'll
be in KDE SC 4.8.

Cheers,
Grégory
