[SOLVED] kwallet for kmail (kde4) under kf5

hi,

I did a fresh install and networkmanager is storing passwords in kwallet. I installed kmail and it can't activate kwallet to store password. I searched, but didn't really find anything. Do I have to install a kde4 version of kwallet? Which package is that? Do I have to run two versions of it or can kmail somehow use the kf5 version of kwallet?

pacman -Qo /usr/bin/kwalletd
/usr/bin/kwalletd is owned by kdebase-runtime 15.04.0-4

pacman -Qo /usr/bin/kwalletd5                                            :(
/usr/bin/kwalletd5 is owned by kwallet 5.9.0-1

And yes, you need both.

I have both installed, but kmail can't activate the kde4 one. When I started up and got the wallet migration dialog, it also failed to open old wallet. Anything I have to do to activate/create a kde4 wallet?

Try to set "Enabled=true" in the ~/.kde4/share/config/kwalletrc

Thank you so much, this took me way too long to find.

Just adding my own description, so hopefully more people will be able to find this. The message I got was "Could not access KWallet", whenever I tried setting up a new account. The akonadi service would show "akonadi_imap_resource_0(1530)/kdeui (Wallet): The kwalletd service has been disabled".
