What does "completely wipe" mean, and how does this come about?

The "essential" information for each "personality" (which I equate
with "account") is a small set of parameters per server,
and I've forgotten at this moment how and where it is stored,
but the essential problem with storing info for each personality
is how to maintain an open-ended way of accommodating
very many different personalities that are each identified
by a user-chosen name ("Dominant" is the only hard-coded "personality" name).

Certainly the "cached" local IMAP information (about messages and mailboxes)
is disposable, because it can be regenerated, which is also how
other clients that have never yet connected to a given IMAP server
get that information in the first place,
given that every new client starts out "wiped" to begin with,
yet soon knows what any other, independent clients know
about the mail that's stored on the server.
