no, i have the same issue from time to time (KDE 4.8.1, kubuntu packages), but
don't get that kwallet error message.

for the most part, kmail2 fetches passwords from kwallet, but sometimes it
doesn't. this usually only affects SMTP: when i want to send a mail, i suddenly
get the password input dialog for the SMTP server. i then manually search
kwallet for the password, which is actually still stored there, copy it to the
dialog, the mail gets sent, and from now on (and for the next couple of KDE
sessions) sending mails works fine.

this seems to be related to another issue i sometimes observe: kmail2 claims
the SSL certificate of the POP3 server (same account) doesn't match, and it
doesn't matter how often you say "accept this from now on", it will bother you
again and again, almost(!) every time it wants to check mails. when it takes
too long to "accept" the certificate, the mail server rejected the connection
in the meantime, and when kmail wants to check mails the next time, it suddenly
also prompts for the POP3 password. when this is the case, the SMTP issue is
also present. the next few days it's ok, then al of this comes up again.
