Right after login in KDE asks for my imap accounts password, first thing after completing startup.
It ask even before I connect to any network or start kmail which is unexpected to me and quite annoying as I have several imap accounts and the password request windows are on top of other windows. These windows will raise again automatically after I connect to a network. I manage to make this behavior tolerable by having kde wallet manage all my imap accounts passwords, so I only have to put a single password.
I wonder if this is related to nepomuk or akonadi.
KDE session management is set to "start with an empty session", autostart has krunner and plasma-dekstop enabled and that's it.
Let me know what kind of info I should provide to help look into this issue.

Akonadi is started by the plasma clock at login. Try unchecking "show events" in the plasma clock configuration to see if it fixes it.

Interesting thing to know, I tried it and but the password windows still pops up at startup.
I figured out that maybe something else was starting akonadi and that I should have a look at the running processes and sure enough:

How do I tell akonadi to only ask for passwords once I opened my email client ?
Is this even possible ? Going through akonadi configuration options I couldn't find any setting related to akonadi, it seems to only show the kmail account settings.
I was thinking I could simply turn akonadi off for the imap accounts as a last resort, but I didn't see any option to turn off akonadi monitoring of a specific resource either.

You can't "turn off" akonadi for an account, since akonadi is what gets the mails from the server (if you use kmail).
From the accounts settings dialog in kmail, check "retrieval options" for each account, and make sure "switch offline on kmail shutdown" is checked.

Sir, you just made my daily use of my computer a lot less frustrating. Thank you very much !
I shall complain about this setting being badly placed and quite counter intuitive. I'd expect a setting affecting akonadi to show up in akonadi configuration and not only in kmail where there is no mention it impact akonadi, but I don't really know where to provide my feedback.
Anyways thanks again for your help, this is solved.
