Description

To set up Xfce4-mailwatch-plugin, one naturally needs to supply the passwords for the accounts to monitor. Those passwords should be stored in a keyring (e.g. Gnome keyring in my case).

To my opinion they MUST be stored in a keyring, unencrypted storage of passwords should be considered an important security bug.

I use the version supplied with Xubuntu 18.04 LTS.
