No, there's no current option to remove all the email data without deleting the accounts.

To delete the email, you'd need to delete the contents of the $HOME/Maildir/ directory.

One way to do that would be to write a script which looped over all the accounts whose email you'd like to delete, and have that script remove the contents of that users Maildir directory.
