           Summary: KMail asks for passwords if wallet is not opened in time
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: amantia kde org


Version:            (using 4.00.81 (KDE 4.0.81 >= 20080527, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.25.4-8-default

If I don't open the wallet (protected with a password) in time, KMail timeouts and starts to ask for passwords again and wants to store them in its config file. Instead of directly asking the passwords, it should show a dialog that tells the wallet is not available, retry or ignore it. If you chose retry, it should try again to ask the wallet for passwords.
Usecase:
- password protected wallet
- kmail starts on login
- kmail checks mails on startup
- you start the computer and walk away for some minutes

When you are back, you see the wallet dialog and kmail password dialogs. You enter the wallet password, but you have to restart kmail if you don't want to store the passwords in the config file.
