I recently upgraded from KDE 4.4 to 4.7, which includes KMail2

I found that I could no longer can configure passwords to my e-mail accounts in
KMail2 itself. I am forced to use KWallet. This is not acceptable. I do not
want to use KWallet. 
I am extremely annoyed by having to re-type my password every now and then,
when KWallet pops up and asks for it. After 8 years of happy KDE usage I am now
on the verge to abandon KDE alltogether if this is not fixed soon. 

I suggest that developers implement handling of passwords as they were in
versions before KMail2 (i.e. it is possible to configure passwords per e-mail
account in the KMail2 application itself) and that the storage of passwords is
made as safe as state of the art provides. There has to be a choice if one
wants to use KWallet or not.

Reproducible: Always




I run Kmail 4.7.4-r1
