storing 'config sets' in gconf

[Venkatakrishnan Kannan <kpvk1976 yahoo com>]

Hi,
  I know that gconf is primarily meant for storing
preferences rather than appl config but still, is it
possible to store sets of config. eg. consider an
email appl which stores email account info in gconf.
Is it possible to do this? I learnt from: 
http://codeblogs.ximian.com/blogs/evolution/archives/2004_03.html
(last item) that it is not possible. Could someone
confirm this.
  The issue as I see (to my limited knowledge of
gconf) is that the gconf paths are predefined and
cannot be dynamically created (at appl run time). We
can only assign values to the pre-defined keys, right?
If I have to create accounts and its parameters under
'/apps/myemailapp/accounts' (this will be defined in
the appl's gconf schema), eg. 

'/apps/myemailapp/accounts/account1'
'/apps/myemailapp/accounts/account1/smtpservername'
'/apps/myemailapp/accounts/account1/smtpuserid'
'/apps/myemailapp/accounts/account1/smtpuserpasswd'

etc, and for another account it would be

'/apps/myemailapp/accounts/account2'
'/apps/myemailapp/accounts/account2/smtpservername'
'/apps/myemailapp/accounts/account2/smtpuserid'
'/apps/myemailapp/accounts/account2/smtpuserpasswd'

etc.

Thanks and regards,
Venkat.
