Hi,

I was just lucky that KMail came up on line. Now it starts offline again. I've 
tried with a fresh user and got the same result.

In KMail the system tray icon is enabled in the mode "Only show KMail in 
system tray if there are unread messages" (=default). When I set it to "Always 
show KMail in system tray" at log in I get a kwallet open request for the 
imap-account (the behavior I was used to in kde 4.8.x). One would think that 
hidden programs/icons are no longer saved at end of session. This is, however, 
not the case in fc18. So I'm out of ideas. :-(

May be someone has an idea?

btw. to work around this issue you can enable "Check mail on startup" 
(Configure -> Accounts Receiving -> Retrieval Options)
