When a user saves kmail settings, it gets saved in 
${KDEHOME:-$HOME/.kde}/share/config/kmailrc. Check permissions to ensure 
that the file is writable by that user. Then check if there are any 
kmailrc in the paths listed by "kde-config --path config"
and make sure they dont have $i flag set.

Use:
  kreadconfig --file kmailrc --group 'Account 1' --key Name

and repeat with kdeglobals, /etc/kderc and system.kdeglobals to check if 
any of these are overriding your settings. 

I find it easy to login as root and use the short cut:

 su -c "kreadconfig --file ....." someuseraccount

to check all user accounts.
