kontact/kmail doesn't launch on startup (except by putting it in
Autostart) - it's merely a persistent KDE application, which means that it
starts in your session whenever it was running when your last session was
closed.  So the question is, did you ever really close it?  Clicking on
the "X" (close window) icon does NOT stop kontact/kmail.  You need to use
the Quit option from the menu.
