Usually it isn't enough to shut down KMail, because Akonadi is still running. You need to shut this down, too.

You might want to rethink this. Many improvements have been made in the kernel and in KDE since 12.04. In fact, you might obtain better resource utilization on 14.04 than 12.04.

Continuing to support a vanishing use case is unwise. Each decision made to perpetuate increasingly older machines comes with some kind of tradeoff, and these tradeoffs are becoming more and more difficult to make. 32-bit support will eventually be dropped at some point.
