It also did so in mine.

The important part was:

---[snip]--------------------------------------------------------
3. Note the numeric identity for the account at the start of that 
configuration
block (say, Account 1234567890)
4. Open up KDE Wallet Manager, and the default wallet
5. Find the entry 'kmail', select 'Passwords' and right-click or press Ins to
add new entry.
6. Name the entry after the numeric account identity (e.g. account-123457890)
and add the password (and save).
---[snip]--------------------------------------------------------

It solved my problem.
