Another reason to split kmailrc is this IMHO:
I am running KDE 3.5, but installed KDE4 for another user. In my KDE3 session I
started kopete via F2. Seems Opensuse has a flaw, because Kopete of KDE4 was
started, which triggered possibly Akonadi and whatnot, at least the KDE4 update
scripts for kmailrc was run in the back (and Kopete never started, hu?).

On the next start of KMail my accounts were gone (in the view), (Pop/Imap
instead of pop/imap as values for type key in the config), on exit even removed
from kmailrc (due to accounts=0). Old version of kmailrc to the rescue - well,
including a lot of work, because of all the filters and folder settings which
had changed as well, so I had a hard time to tell what the changes were (and I
was to lazy to search for the update scripts and find out what was supposed to
be changed, now that I think of)

So please consider storing the settings of the accounts/transports, those of
the templates, those of the filters and those of the folders in different
files, as they can get very large. Otherwise there is not much difference
between to the Win registry ;)
