Red face Purge KMail settings?


I first started KMail and entered the wrong stuff. Now it's all messed up and I don't know how to fix it. Is there a way to completely purge KMail and make it act as if it was first opened?

Still doesn't do anything.

How do I get rid of all the "accounts" and "identities" and make it think that it was started for the first time?

The problem was that it didn't let me remove it if there was one account. I'll try making a dummy account, remove my old one, and create my new one.

Kmail - Settings - Configure Kmail -> Accounts (on left) -> select account -> (click remove) on right.
