It is possible to not enter the password in Kmail, most email clients offer to store the password.
That is the problem. I can't find a way. But it used to be possible.
Using my instructions (typing it in when setting up the accounts and checking off the store password option) should work. I've also noticed that when I forget to add the password at setup, it will come up with a popup asking for the password, and there will be a checkbox for storing it.
I don't like KWallet. It is just there by default. Can I safely uninstall it? And would I then be able to get KMail to store the passwords itself, as it used to do?
Since Kmail can store your passwords directly, it should not matter whether KWallet is present or not.
I never tried removing KWallet before now, but Kmail seems to work fine without it. After removing kwalletmanager-trinity and restarting Kontact (which uses Kmail directly for email), it did not ask me for a password, neither for sending nor receiving (I don't like KWallet either, so I don't use it, though I do have it store my passwords). It might ask you to remove several meta-packages, though I'm not sure which ones specifically as I manually selected which packages to install (I think I added KWallet by accident since it was in the suggested packages). Just make sure to check what your package manager wants to remove first; meta-packages are generally safe to remove since they are there simply to make it easier to install the real packages in bulk.
snip
kwalletmanager only manages the 'wallet', it is not the wallet system. Deleting kwalletmanager-trinity won''t delete the wallet subsystem.
