zibi1981 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I've managed to configure two of my e-mail accounts on KMail, so there is no problem getting and sending mail on them. But I don't know what to do to force KMail to collect my mail on startup. Also, anyone know how to make KWallet to remember the password, so I would not have to type it anytime I'm starting KMail?

shengchieh Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 I know nothing about KWallet. If you want a program to autostart as an user, add the console command for KMail (probably kmail) into $HOME/.kde/Autostart .

zibi1981 Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 (edited) We are at cross purposes. I don't want KMail to start with my system, but to collect my mail when it's started. I mean when I press KMail icon on my panel, and it's starting to run, I want it to automatically check my e-mail accounts. Is my point clear now?

Very simple solution: Launch Kmail Settings/Configure Kmail select Accounts On the Receiving tab, check "Check mail on startup".

zibi1981 Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) Indeed very simple. How is it possible that I didn't notice this option before?

zibi1981 Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I've never used KWallet. Well, I'm using it because of security issues. I mean my system is better protected, isn't it?. Anyone know how to configure KWallet to remember the password when it is beeing started? :dry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 The usage of kwallet is for security reasons- everybody that uses your desktop has to enter the kwallet password to access your personal data. You can bypass it either by opening a new wallet for usage of specific apps, or disabling the initial wallet altogether- make your choice.

Anyone know how to configure KWallet to remember the password when it is beeing started? :dry: I use the SeaMonkey suite for browsing and e-mail, which is why I do not use KWallet. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I understood you correctly, there isn't a way to make KWallet remember my own password, when I'm using my personal Linux account? I have to type the password every time I'm prompted for it, wright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I have to type the password every time I'm prompted for it, wright? Simply keep your wallet open: Open K-wallet and right click on it in your panel (taskbar), and select Configure Wallet. In the Close Wallet section make sure you have all boxes unchecked.
