Version: 1.13.6 (using KDE 4.6.1)
OS: Linux
Since I updatet KDE from 4.6.0 to 4.6.1, Kmail (I use it with kontact)
doesn't connect to kwallet any more. It fails at the beginning of my
user session and asks every few minutes again for password. Always after
some unsuccessful connections to kwallet, a small window appears with
some message like "kmail couldn't connnect to kwallet a few times, maybe
a bug in the program"(my DE is german). Other programs such as kopete or
quassel are still working well with kwallet.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
→ Enter new user session
→ enter kwallet password
→ try to check mails
Actual Results:
kmail connecting to kwallet fails and asks for a password manually.
Expected Results:
kmail should connect correctly to kwallet and use its stored password to check the mails.
Happend after update: KDE 4.6.0 → 4.6.1
Kmail wasn't updatet.

I agree, kmail/kontact does not wait for me to enter the password of
kwallet but it starts immediately.

Same problem here on two computers.
I tried to remove the kwallet password (setting it to empty) so that it open imediately. This did not help. Kwallet tells me that an application tried to use it several time without success.

The same happens when trying to add a new mail account. Checking store
IMAP password results in a popup saying that KWallet is not available
when kwalletd is clearly running and the wallet manager runs fine.

Can't reproduce that any more (KDE 4.6.2, KDEPIM 4.11). The only
difference now is, that kontact asks for kwallet password not only when
checking mails at the beginning, but also when sending a mail the first
time in a session. If that's what it should be or not, I don't know.

FWIW:
This was solved by recompiling the Gentoo package with USE flag +semantic-desktop (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363683)

I can confirm this for KMail 1.13.6 (Kontact 4.4.10) on KDE 4.6.3
(Kubuntu 11.04 64-bit).
My first IMAP account (set up back on KDE 4.4.2) behaves as expected,
but with my second IMAP account (set up a few days ago) I got the
message that KWallet was unavailable when setting up the account, and
having declined the option to have KMail store it in its own
configuration files, I got asked for the password every time I started
Kontact, and the error about KWallet not being available every time I
closed it.
However, I have managed to workaround the problem (touch wood) using the first account as a template. With Kontact/KMail closed:
1. Open ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc.
2. Locate the configuration block for the offending account and change 'store-passwd=false' to 'store-passwd=true' (and save).
3. Note the numeric identity for the account at the start of that configuration block (say, Account 1234567890)
4. Open up KDE Wallet Manager, and the default wallet
5. Find the entry 'kmail', select 'Passwords' and right-click or press Ins to add new entry.
6. Name the entry after the numeric account identity (e.g. account-123457890) and add the password (and save).
I presume this means that KMail now has a problem with writing passwords
to KWallet, and won't change the 'store-passwd' setting until it has,
but that it has no trouble reading from KWallet.

Same experience here in Kubuntu 11.04, KDE SC 4.6.4 KMail 1.13.6.
I have 2 IMAP accounts that works OK but when I added a new POP3 account
KMail can communicate with KWallet. I'll try your workaround and see if
it works for me.

Same here on Kubuntu 11.04 with KDE 4.6
and on my notebook running KDE 4.7 and KDEPIM 4.7 (KMail2)
The workaround doesn't work, as i already have saved them but changing
is impossible because of this bug.
I also get a notice that some application is failing accessing kwallet
many times

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.
KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through
significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5
and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.
We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give
your feedback.
