add a dir to KDEDIRS containing the additions you want.

http://www.kde.org/areas/sysadmin/ contains docs that explain exactly how 
this works. You might also want to look at kiosktool (debs are available 
from the kalyxo project archives).

For setting up KDEDIRS, you can either roll you're own scrips, or use the 
desktop-profiles package 
(not yet in the archive as I'm still looking for a sponser, 
 but it's available for download at 
http://developer.skolelinux..no/~cobaco/desktop-profiles, 
see the manpage for the explanation of how it works, man2html-coverted 
version of the manpage is at the above location)

    format mails to a low priority folder (they're mainly spam)
