And has security implications.

Anyone getting a hold of your wallet has immediate access to all passwords 
in it if you do not protect it with a password.

Your decision of cause, but bank cards has a PIN for a reason :)

I have read about some fixes of KWallet handling in KMail for recent KDE 
versions. But I bet KDE  SC 4.8.5 may not contain these fixes yet.
