I have since quit out of KMail and gone back in again, with 
the Wallet still active and it didn't ask for any further 
passwords and sending and recieving mail all worked fine. I 
have since that completely logged out of the session and 
restarted and the only thing I had to do was put in the 
master password for KWallet on restart. All five passwords 
are now in the wallet plus two others for Mail Transport, 
why they are there I don't know. I also don't know how the 
other passwords got into the wallet, but they are there and 
correct and all is working fine. As I said before, thankyou 
Derek for the push to look again. :)

but please don't try this with Dolphin!
at least for a couple of years.  ;)
