Let me try to clarify this.

Acct 1/Identity 1 = straight gmail; transport is gmail username with gmail 
password
Acct 2/Identity 2 = googles app hosted domain with different domain name that 
resolves to gmail. 
Acct 3/ Identity 3 = just like Acct 2, but with a different domain name hosted 
by google apps.
Acct 4(Acct 1)/Identity 4 = this verizon.net acct with its own transport, but 
fetched through gmail Acct 1.  This one never had a problem and its identity 
was never tied to gmail.

Identity 2 is the default identity.

Before I fixed it. I just used the Acct 1 transport for Accts 1-3, no matter 
which IMAP account the Acct was hitting.  This resulted in all folders in all 
IMAP (except folders associated with Acct 4) constantly reverting to Identity 
2 -- whether I used the GUI or edited kmailrc directly.  I did this because 
all the google related SMTPs ultimately resolve to smtp.gmail.com.

I fixed it by editing the identities of Accts 1-3 to use their own transports.

The bug seems to be that "Identities don't stick if they share a transport, 
but not an incoming server/UID/PWD"

Complicated, but I hope it makes sense.
