But that is not the question! He wants multiple instances of Kmail running, one for each account.
What he will be able to do is:
start a separate konsole for each account
su - (to the other account, one at a time) and
kmail &
That will start a separate instance running in the other users environment.

I didn't see the part where he wanted to manage kmail for different USER accounts on the machine, (in which case a simple su or better yet ssh would keep everything separate).
I saw the message as wanting to handle different Email accounts from different providers some of which may be on other servers (gmail, isp, work, etc). I have 3 activities, work, personal and mailing lists each using different email addresses. At the moment i've separated them by creating 3 KDE users so i have to login and out of each of them. I saw a possibility of activities allowing me to have only one KDE login and 3 separate activities. Within each activity i'd have an instance of kontact/kmail configured for the correct email addresses/contacts etc so it was just a matter of changing activity instead of logging in and out a few times. Pure laziness on my part but i thought it made Activities useful for me but as it cant have separate instances of programs I don't really see its useful to me without being overkill.
