It is probably a matter of interpreting things differently.
It seemed to me that people having more than one mail account were asking for
options not to have mails from different sources mixed into the same folder.

This has been available for years.

It also seemed that some people thought they had to manually select identity or
outgoing account when replying to mails from different sources or creating one
for based on a specific account's inbox.

This has also been available for years, probably not as long as the other
feature though.

Since each account (in KMail terminology "identities" can (optionally) have
their own folders for sent mail, drafts and templates, I though this would
cover the rest.

To summarize: a KMail user can (optionally)
- any number of identities/accounts
- have different inbox folder for different mail servers
- have different sent, draft and templates folders for each identity/account
- have different mail server for each identity/accounts's outgoing mail
- can associate any folder with any identify/account, so new mail created for
that folder is automatically handled according to the associated
indentify/account's settings, such as sent folder, mail server to send through,
etc.

Judging by your response there seem to be some things that are not covered with
these capabilities yet.
Since I think all the use cases described here are already covered, it might be
good to describe one that isn't in more detail.
