Just to clarify, there doesn't seem to be a problem with IMAP4 passwords, only |
| 24 |
with SMTP. |

When updating to kde-frameworks/kwallet-5.34.0-r1 I noticed this elog message, |
| 27 |
which implies I should no longer need the old kwalletd4: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
"LOG: postinst |
| 30 |
Starting with 5.34.0-r1, kwallet is able to serve applications |
| 31 |
that still require old kwalletd4. After migration has finished, |
| 32 |
kde-apps/kwalletd can be removed." |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
So, do I have to wait for Kmail:4 to be updated to Kmail:5 before I give up on |
| 35 |
kwalletd4 despite the above message? |
