Reboot. Click send.
Popup message is: "You need to supply a username and password for this SMTP
server".
It offers to save it, I say yes, it gets stored in
~/.kde4/share/config/mailtransports
Log out, make sure all user processes exit (console shell to check).
Log in, start kmail, it asks "password stored insecurely, migrate to wallet"
(or to that effect). Click yes.
Compose email, click send. Popup "you need to supply a username...".

I got the impression that kmail does not read the password from mailtransports
either - but to be confirmed.

I have 10 SMTP accounts and about 12 IMAP accounts configured.
The problem has become seriously annoying more recently, about when I replaced
mobo and CPU with faster ones.

Hmm, at least 2 SMTP servers are affected.

If it was only a config problem that'd be cool, but I can't think of one.

I do frequently run kmail over ssh on the LAN, but that has always worked
earlier. I take care of stopping akonadi appropriately (akonadictl stop) and
running a dbus daemon per display. On startup kmail causes a popup asking for
the wallet password; it still does, but it is no longer sufficient.
kdeinit4: kwalletd is running, kwalletmanager is started by kmail when asking
for a pasword.

Every linux distro and KDE version is very old all the time :-) The problem is
that you don't have the resources to deal with more than leading edge, and I
don't have the resources to keep up and deal with the problems after each
upgrade/reinstallation of $DISTRO. Thanks for looking over it thoguh.
