Should really be raising this on the Fedora test list.

# which kmail
/usr/bin/kmail
# rpm -q -f /usr/bin/kmail
kdenetwork-3.1.4-1
So, if you want to remove kmail, you would need to
# rpm -e kdenetwork
But you may find other things depend on that package.
# rpm -q --whatrequires kdenetwork
kdenetwork-devel-3.1.4-1
# rpm -q --whatrequires kdenetwork-devel
no package requires kdenetwork-devel
So, you should be able to:
# rpm -e kdenetwork kdenetwork-devel

You may also want to read up on the "verify" option in rpm (man rpm)
