I think going from KDE3 to KDE4 was a "Big Switch". I see this from reading old Mandriva mailing lists and the like. One sequence of keywords that came up is: "KDE 3 no longer maintained" (with or without quotes). So my thinking is that getting a working Kmail for KDE3 might be possible, but harder than getting a copy of Kmail for KDE4, since KDE4 is the current supported & development platform for KDE ...
