The $e indicates that the value of the 'folders' configuration entry has 
to be expanded when it is loaded, i.e. $HOME will be replaced 
by /home/peter777 or whatever your home folder is.

No. KMail stores meta information (i.e. special folder settings) about 
all known folders in its configuration file. Information about 
non-existing folders is deleted. So if you switch between two (or more) 
different mail storages then any special folder settings will be lost.
