Some more remarks:
Your father-in-law will probably still be able to change the look of the 
running KMail, but after a restart of KMail everything should be back to 
normal.

Potentially destructive options like deleting folders probably cannot be 
prevented (unless the corresponding menus can be configured with a UI rc 
files like kmcomposerui.rc and kmmainwin.rc).
