I think you shouldn't look for the kmail folder but for the folder where 
Kmail saves the messages. AFAIK there is no option in the Kmail settings 
to change this folder.

It depends on your Kubuntu (or KDE) version where your mails are stored. 
Some KDE3 versions used "/home/$USER/Mail/" and if you upgraded from 
such a version you may still be using that folder. However if you 
started with later KDE3 versions or KDE4 before Kubuntu 11.10 the 
default folder was "/home/$USER/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/". With 11.10 
things have changed again and I think you can find your mail in 
"/home/$USER/.local/share/local-mail".
