Only if you enabled this feature once.  If you did, all additional 
accounts will have it enabled by default as well.

At least that's my observation.

KDE's great feature is that you don't have to use it?  O_o

Because those who want this feature are not using KMail in the first 
place.  So KMail's users are simply those who don't need it.  How is 
anyone going to disagree?  Where's my "choice" here?  OK, you say I have 
a "choice".  I choose to have separate accounts in KMail.  Oops, it 
can't do that.  But didn't you just say I have "choice"?  Turns out I don't.
