afaik, you use the right/left arrrow keys with  the shift key to do multiple 
selections. From my quick look around, there has been much discussion over the 
years on this, as well as bug reports at kde's bugzilla.

You can change shortcuts by going to kmails Settings:Configure Shortcuts, and 
look for the 'extend selection' entries (at least for KDE4, though it should 
be there in KDE3.
