You know the saying that "socialism is heroically fighting with problems
unknown in other systems" ? That's what you're trying to do.

Instead of fixing this
multipleaccountsstoredinonefolderwithmultipleidentitiesandconfigurationsassigned
pulp you suggest
multipleaccountsstoredinonefolderwithmultipleidentitiesandconfigurationsassignedseparatedwithfilters
:P

Let me give an example how ridiculous current design is. If I want to add two
accounts i have to:
1. add 2 entries in Accounts/Receiving tab
2. add 2 entries in Accounts/Sending tab
3. create 2 identities and select corresponding Transport in them
4. go back to Accounts/Receiving and assign identities to them

And all I get is:
1. a message mess
2. risk of sending message using wrong identity/transport
3. lack of migration/backup like in TB where everything related with account is
encapsulated in one directory

I like Kontact suite (using it with 2 IMAP and 5 POP accounts now, only because
i was determined enough to set it up) but it won't ever get popular if KDE
developers won't change current design.
