No, that's wrong. Mail tries to log you on with the password you
entered. If this succeeds it saves the password in the keyring.

If the password is wrong, Mail prompts you again.

That's wrong too. Mail stores all info about accounts it knows in the
path you wrote above.
If you delete the directories in that path, Mail does not know any
accounts any more and displays the initial "create account" dialog.
