They are not initialized because a) It would require too much resources the check the signature of each signed message when it's fetched (signature checking is an expensive task). b) It's impossible to check the signature status of an encrypted message if the user doesn't store his passphrase in memory and IMO even if the user keeps his passphrase in memory KMail should never decrypt an encrypted message without the knowledge of the user. Apart from this decrypting a message is even more expensive than checking a signature. c) It's not possible to initialize the icons with IMAP because only the message headers are known. Anyway, feel free to open a wishlist report for initializing the icons whenever possible.
