            Bug ID: 303461
          Severity: major
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: No ability to store a password in a similar way to
                    KMail in KDE4.6
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: hygrocyb at bigpond.net.au
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: config dialog
           Product: kmail2

This is not a bug as such. It seems to be the current design of KMail and I can
find no other way of getting to the software designers.

In KMail in KDE4.6, you have a small window which allows you to enter a
password, the server address and you can ignore KWallet.  You then save the lot
and that's it.  There seems no way of doing this very simple procedure in the
latest version of KMail.  You get caught in endless loops of KWallet (which I
don't want to use), endless insertions of the password and while you can easily
send a test email, you simply cannot get it back from the server.  KMail in
KDE4.6 is sheer simplicity itself to use....KMail in KDE4.8 is
impossible.....or at least for me.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just try setting up an account without KWallet.
2.You cannot now store a password and you could do so in earlier versions.
3.
