I disabled Nepomuk and rebooted. I launched Kmail and I got an error (unable 
to fetch item from backend), I restarted Kmail and then tried repeating what I 
was doing earlier to cause so many segfaults.

I can't say step for step what I am doing but the general idea is, filtering 
the inbox for messages, then going through HTML messages and clicking on 
links.

Boom Segfault 11. That was my first and I know I have no need to dig further.

I am obsessed with using Kmail because I want as much of the KDE experience I 
can have, I love some of the principles but this is becoming too much :(
