Description
This morning I updated some KDE services, I believe including kwallet, and now all of the sudden Mailspring doesn’t properly connect to kwallet for secret storage. Running with debug, I get this output:
$ ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=1 mailspring 2>&1 | grep -iE 'keychain|password|secret|kwallet|safe.?storage'

My other electron apps that use kwallet still work, so I’m not quite sure why Mailspring in particular is having issues.
To Reproduce…
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
-
Open Mailspring. In the bottom-left corner it has a red box saying that several of your accounts are having issues.
-
Trying to re-connect accounts gives an error that my device does not have an encryption service available.
Expected Behavior
It should work how it did yesterday, properly connecting to kwallet to get my account credentials.
