Yes, this seems to be the problem. Starting Kmail does not launch kwalletd5 |
| 46 |
and as a consequence kmail starts asking for each email account password |
| 47 |
separately. |

I guess until kmail:5 is installed I will have to start kwalletd5 by hand. |

Hmm ... I thought kde-apps/knotify:4 was replaced with kde- |
| 57 |
frameworks/knotifyconfig:5? |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
A user complained that new messages no longer create a popup. |
