Well, the freedesktop.org secret service is still very much a draft at the
moment, it seems.

Claws Mail does not store passwords in plain text, and you can set a Primary
Passphrase, (See /Configuration/Preferences/Other/Miscellaneous), so what do
you think would actually be gained by using freedesktop.org's secret service
anyway?

Read more about passphrase handling in Claws Mail here:
