As far as I know, Thunderbird has no awareness of KDE in general. It is desktop-platform agnostic. Certainly, using Thunderbird does not result in any entries in Kwallet. So, most likely when you started Kmail for the first time, that action initiated the task of putting some data into Kwallet. I would also guess that since you started Kmail once before, it may now be trying to start automatically each time you login and as part of that is asking Kwallet for mail-related passwords.
I don't use Kmail myself, so I can't offer detailed suggestions, but things I would consider trying: - Checking to prevent automatic Kmail startup during login. - Deleting the Kwallet entries for mail (after backing up the contents). To back up the contents of Kwallet, simply use the File -> Export option. This allows you to create a clear-text XML file containing all the details stored in Kwallet. NB: Clear-text means that all passwords are in the clear, as well!
