OK,

Maybe I'll have another look at it then. When I first came 
across it, it *was* a nightmare, continuously asking for 
passwords (in KMail IIRC) and I got so fed up with it being 
so intrusive I stopped using it. Admittedly that was in the 
bad old days of Mandrake.

For example, I have five different email accounts that I use 
for various reasons, I don't want to have to type in five 
different passwords each day I log in to my pc, that I do 
not find useful, yes I am lazy. If there is only one 
password entry to make for the entire session until I log 
out again, even that is still one more entry than I have to 
make at present, I will reconsider. Is that the case?
