nope, doesn't work in this way.
i've closed kwallet and the apps that are using it. i've found a way of
fixing it. made a copy of the mail folders, reset kmail, and set again the
account. after that i've closed kmail, copied the mail folders back (without
the configuration) and then it worked. it now stores the pass in the wallet.
but i cannot find any pass= something in the kmailrc. so i think that it
should have been enough to remove it. maybe kmail was still reading it from
the file before reset. i've done the same with kopete. as for the other apps
like knetworkmanager it was enough to remove the configuration and for
konqueror to go on a new site and type inside a new passwd to open the
kwallet.
so now it seems that the kde apps are again using kwallet.

thanks again for the time you'e spent on the matter.
