Let be clear only few applications in TDE use dbus and these are the once
that need interaction with dbus for some reason - kmail has nothing to do
with dbus.

You should think of using pipes - I do not mean the unix '|' but in your
process. One application works on content in one directory and delivers the
output into another directory, where other application uses this as input
and delivers to another directory.
