I agree it's likely caused by some network resource, I get similar things 
happening to me (to use imap on exchange and it's addressbook from home I have 
to run ssh tunnels through to the exchange machines. It's *easy* to forget to 
run the script that sets them up)

Look for things like imap stores not available and the hard one to track down 
is accessing addressbooks using LDAP. The passwords are not stored in kwallet! 
Check your various KResources configs and grep for likely passwords in 
~/.kde4/share/config
