I use gnome-keyring. I googled a bit and found the post that helped me
when I was setting it up: http://www.clasohm.com/blog/one-entry?entry_id=90957
(if I remember correctly). msmtp is even easier since it has an explicit
option for adding it to the gnome-keyring.
Since you're mentioning kde wallet I kinda feel this information won't
be useful to you but nevertheless...
