Greetings;

I'm going batty (its not a long drive) because when I first installed FC6 
and ran kmail I didn't want to fool with kwallet at the time, so I let 
kmail save the passwords, presumably in kmailrc.

But now that I've had a chance to get caught up, I thought I'd see if this 
kwallet thingy was usefull.  So I went into the control center and 
reenabled it.  After it took the machine down 4 times in a row trying to 
save the password, I got tired of that (I do learn fast in that sort of a 
situation) and tried to tell it to forget it.  But now kmail is coming up 
with a requestor for every message I send, asking me to allow it to save 
the password in its own file.  If I click yes, the mai, is sent, if I 
cancel, the mail is not sent.  And when I try to resend it, the new 
requestor comes up asking for a password and if I don't cat 
my .fetchmailrc so I can copy/paste it, the mail isn't sent.

I just shut it off again, and hopefully that will be the end of that, but 
really, doesn't this utility thats such a PITA have a purpose except 
crashing the whole darned box?
