[Bug 1840007] Re: Kmail reports "Could not read the password" when trying to set an IMAP account online
Can't even work around this by using Akonadi Console to ('configure
remote') set the Authentication to "1" instead of "9" because it's reset
shortly after Kmail starts, and you get the popup of doom from Google
again :(

[Bug 1840007] Re: Kmail reports "Could not read the password" when trying to set an IMAP account online
Work around isn't possible. As soon as you set the IMAP server to imap.gmail.com you can see the password field goes disabled and the advanced connection settings are disabled and "gmail" type is forced. This "helpful" would seem easy to undo, and then at least there would then be a way to connect KMail to Gmail again, because right now the feature is dead (and has been for months ?!?). Suggest raising importance to something higher because it's an important feature, with no possible end user work around. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to akonadi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840007 Title: Kmail reports "Could not read the password" when trying to set an IMAP account online To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/akonadi/+bug/1840007/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1840007] Re: Kmail reports "Could not read the password" when trying to set an IMAP account online
Workaround doesn't work in Kmail v5.7.3 because both password and connection settings (to set to "plain") are disabled. Even for a freshly created IMAP connection. Something in KDE is disabling these because the email is @gmail ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to akonadi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840007 Title: Kmail reports "Could not read the password" when trying to set an IMAP account online To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/akonadi/+bug/1840007/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

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.
