            Bug ID: 465815
           Summary: KMail assumes KDEWallet as Secret Service provider,
                    breaking other alternatives
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.22.2
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: odin.vex at ethicalexploiting.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
KMail is assuming that KDEWallet is the Secret Service that can exist and
attempts to detect it by forcibly detecting *only* KDE Wallet, instead of
simply asking on the dbus if a Secret Service provider exists (such as
KeePassXC). SMTP can be fetched from KeePassXC, but *not* IMAP credentials.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Disable KDEWallet.
2. Use any other Secret Service provider (such as KeePassXC).
3. Attempt to '&Modify...' a Receiving entry for an IMAP account.

OBSERVED RESULT
Error Message: Could not access KWallet. If you want to store the password
permanently then you have to activate it. If you do not want to use KWallet,
check the box below, but note that you will be prompted for your password when
needed.

EXPECTED RESULT
KMail should accept alternative Secret Service providers.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Manjaro 22
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SMTP is remembered correctly, but not anything relating to IMAP. POP3 may be
affected, unchecked.
