Summary: do not cache the accounts' passwords if using kwallet
Product: kmail
Version: 1.9.1
Platform: Compiled Sources
S/Version: Linux
Status: UNCNFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
ReportedBy: leva az isten hu


Version: 1.9.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from: Compiled From Sources
S: Linux

If using kwallet then kmail shouldn't cache the passwords. If the wallet is open, then kmail can re-read the passwords everytime it is needed. But when the wallet is closed, then probably it is closed for a reason, and the user doesn't want applications to use the passwords.
Now if one closes the wallet, it is still possible to use kmail, because it has been cached the password. I think this is an "unsafe" or not expected behaviour. Kmail should always "ask" (of course from kwallet) for the passwords if it is needed.
