In Kubuntu you get the whole "kde-pim" Kontact of which Kmail is a part. 
I am sure there IS a way of installing or starting only Kmail but am not 
able to help you out there.

And trying to run a KDE from command line can give quite some weird 
results. You might want to try ALT+F2 and then type Kmail in the window 
that comes up. Just for the sake of it... but unless you are really 
uncomfy running Kontact just set it to always open in the Mail component 
(Settings, Kontact) and then use only that part.
