23 You could have a look at your kopeterc. Look into the Yahoo account's section
24 and search for RememberPassword. It says true here and it works. Or perhaps
25 if you use it, ask KWallet about your yahoo settings. I do remember though
26 that Kopete asked me for a password once in a while, but then usually only
27 once.
