The libc is not that problem. The major problem is, that kmail in sid is 
unusable in the moment. However the sid version of KDE3.1.1 is compiled 
with two different libraries than the original KDE packages. This is 
because the original KDE packages conflict with Gnome2 in sid. So, if you 
don't use any Gnome2 apps, use the original packages from the KDE mirror 
instead of the sid version. If you use any Gnome2 packages, wait until the 
package maintainer has fixed the bug in kmail.
