It depends what you're using for email - if it's not kmail, then it 
doesn't use the wallet, but if it is kmail, your passwords are being 
stored insecurely (oh, actually, that could have changed in KDE4 - in 
3.5 they were stored in kmailrc)

KWallet _does_ need a little training.  The first time KMail tries to get 
a password from the wallet, you'll be asked if it should be allowed to 
access the wallet (just this time, or forever).  Then when Konqueror 
needs a form password, you'll be asked again, etc.
