Same here - the update of mysql is the culprit. I installed the previous 
version and Kmail started again. These are the packages I installed:

libmysqlclient18_5.5.52-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
mysql-client-5.5_5.5.52-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
mysql-client-core-5.5_5.5.52-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
mysql-common_5.5.52-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_all.deb
mysql-server-core-5.5_5.5.52-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb

I still found them in "/var/cache/apt/archives/" - if you can't find 
them there, you will have to search on the net (archive.ubuntu.com 
should have them).
