Okay, this works for me, not sure if it will work for everybody.
Recently, after KDE 4.4.0 upgrade I think, I noticed kmail taking up like 500mb of residential memory, sometimes even 1g of it. This is insane, I thought.
After a short research I found the problem. For some reason it tried to load up all my mail into memory. Since I got over 0.5gig of mail, that's how much it took. After a thorough cleaning, I only left like 30mb of mail, and voila - kmail (after restarting it) takes only ~40mb of memory!
I'm just posting it for people with similar problems.
Oh, by the way - it was no memory leak, the process took up 500mb just after starting. It only grew worse with few hours of usage (up to about 1gig).
