Yes, this seems to be the problem. Starting Kmail does not launch kwalletd5 and as a consequence kmail starts asking for each email account password separately. I guess until kmail:5 is installed I will have to start kwalletd5 by hand. > Note, you should install knotify:4 if you want notifications about failed > mail delivery from KMail.

A user complained that new messages no longer create a popup. -- Regards, Mick
