That is correct. This feature of Pegasus is undoubtly the result of the 
missing user separation in earlier versions of Windows. Therefore 
Pegasus (and Netscape and many other Windows apps) added some kind of 
poor man's user management. Since KMail was originally developed for 
Unix/Linux systems where user accounts always existed there was no need 
to add some kind of user management to KMail itself.
