$ ldd /usr/bin/kmail | grep QtGui
libQtGui.so.4 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtGui.so.4 (0x00007f984cbb0000)
kmail is currently built with old Qt4 based KDE libs. It looks that you have
faced with issue from #800698. Please try to launch kmail from terminal and
show the output.
Best regards,
Boris
