Right, this is actually a bug in the kdelibs version you have. Your two
options for now are:

1) downgrade kdelibs[4, -data, -bin] to the version in testing.
2) use kontact (which embeds kmail and doesn't suffer from this bug for some
reason).

I'm surprised this works at all, as you are installing a supposedly ABI
incompatible qt that is compiled with gcc 4.0 while everything that uses it
is still compiled with gcc 3.3 (which had a different c++ ABI).
