No, you're right, it does use a profile system. It stores them in the kmailrc file (found in $HOME/.kde./share/config). But I knew that, and deleted that file along with the $HOME/Mail directory, to make KMail forget "everything". Except, alas, that wasn't everything. There's still something somewhere that knows what the last message I retrieved from the server was.
