The kdewallet uses a master-password by design and I am pretty sure you
can't turn that off.  You can disable the wallet all together and simply
use the "save password in configuration file" option within kmail.  How
turning off kdewallet might affect other applications in KDE I'm unsure
- - I've always just configured kwallet not to prompt me again for my
password unless the screen saver kicks in.  With that set-up, kmail only
prompts you once for the password and then wont do it again unless you
close kmail and then the screen saver kicks in after which you start
kmail again.  Rare (for me at least).

Here's a post I made to my local LUG about how to disable kwallet:

...and here's the KWallet Handbook which might shed some more light on
your specific problem:
