Oh, I didn't know that your kwallet works with other programs. Than it wouldn't make much sense to rename ~/.kde3, since your KDE configuration seems to be OK. What happens if you open kwallet and navigate to Kopete->Passwords->{some account}. Can you unhide the content of the nodes (see the passwords)? If you know all kopete passwords, you can also remove the "Kopete" node in kwallet and try to enter the passwords again via kopete. Good luck! Regards, Stefan
