From 75eb4b146f8ff371070833902887bb4dbd23e95c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miquel Sabaté Solà Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 14:53:14 +0200 Subject: mbsync: Update documentation note MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I'm no longer using symmetric GPG for handling my passwords, but 'kwalletmanager' since commit 6a0a2aac2838 ("email: Use kwallet for passwords"). Also add a mention to 'fetch-email', introduced in commit 56d6f3c21853 ("bin: Add 'fetch-email'").
