SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to set Gmail IMAP account online by checking mail.

OBSERVED RESULT
The account stays offline (folders are marked red) and the message "Could not 
read the password. User rejected wallet access" message can be seen in the 
Kmail's account settings. If password is changed there, it is updated correctly 
to the wallet as seen in Wallet Manager, but the error persists nevertheless.

EXPECTED RESULT
Account goes online and new messages are downloaded. (Actually, normally the 
account is online automatically.)


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 5.0.0-23
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

KDE wallet is opened normally (at login through PAM) and Wallet Manager
displays the wallet open and "kontact" as an attached application.

The problem appeared suddenly on two different machines around
10.8.2019, possibly after a package update. One system is Kubuntu 18.04
LTS and the other is Kubuntu 19.04, both with KDE backports repository
enabled.

I noticed that around the time of the problem appearing, an update was
installed to mitigate the .desktop file vulnerability. The following
packages were upgraded:

libkf5config-data:amd64 (5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1,
5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1), libkf5configcore5:amd64
(5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1, 5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1),
libkf5configgui5:amd64 (5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1,
5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1), dpkg:amd64 (1.19.6ubuntu1,
1.19.6ubuntu1.1), libkf5config-dev-bin:amd64
(5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1, 5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1),
libkf5config-bin:amd64 (5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1,
5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1), libkf5config-dev:amd64
(5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1, 5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1),
libkf5config-doc:amd64 (5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1,
5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1), libdpkg-perl:amd64 (1.19.6ubuntu1,
1.19.6ubuntu1.1), dpkg-dev:amd64 (1.19.6ubuntu1, 1.19.6ubuntu1.1)

My apologies, if this is a distribution specific bug, or if it is tagged
with a wrong package.

The underlying problem seems to be the one described in bug #404990.

The workaround mentioned in its 2nd comment, using PLAIN authentication
method, fixes the problem.

The problem has nothing to do with KDE Wallet unlike the very misleading
Kmail error -- that's why I'm not marking this bug as a duplicate.
