--- Comment #1 from Woodsman <darrella at hushmail.com> ---
This bug still exists in 4.10.1.

I would like to see that functionality returned. In Kmail1 the passwords were
stored in the kmailrc and were encrypted. Users moving from KMail1 to KMail2
who are not using or never used kwallet get confused when KMail2 asks for
passwords with each fresh KDE session.

When creating POP3 accounts in KMail2 the password text box is disabled and
users can't enter a password because kwallet is the only option in KMail2.
Being required to use kwallet is not intuitive to users who don't use or never
have used kwallet.

Currently the only solutions are to type all passwords every fresh session or
use kwallet.

Using kwallet is a reasonable approach but there are many non enterprise users
who do not need or want that complexity. :)
