That worked for me. KMail now runs normally again. Thanks.

For anyone new to debian (like myself) reverting the packages was accomplished
with the following commands:

cd /var/cache/apt/archives

dpkg -i --force-downgrade kdelibs_4%3a3.3.2-6.1_all.deb
kdelibs4_4%3a3.3.2-6.1_i386.deb kdelibs-bin_4%3a3.3.2-6.1_i386.deb
kdelibs-data_4%3a3.3.2-6.1_all.deb
