In KDE 3 both, KMail and Kontact, installed desktop files (KMail: 
dcopimap.desktop and dcopmail.desktop; Kontact: kontactdcop.desktop) 
which added KMail/Kontact as provider for the ServiceTypes 
DCOP/ResourceBackend/IMAP and DCOP/Mailer. I think the former 
ServiceType is used by the IMAP resource.

In KDE 4 D-Bus replaced DCOP, but there are probably still similar 
desktop files. Deleting the desktop files belonging to KMail should fix 
your problem. FWIW, I deleted kontactdcop.desktop because I wanted the 
opposite behavior.
