This information is outdated. KMail does no longer cache any OpenPGP 
passphrases. It does now leave passphrase handling to the gpg-agent / 
pinentry-qt combo.

If you don't have any backends listed on the Crypto Backends tab then 
you are missing some necessary tools. In this case your first stop 
should be http://kontact.kde.org/kmail/kmail-pgpmime-howto.php. This 
page does need an update, but most of the information presented there 
should still be valid.
