Most likely
~/Mail

If it is a KDE3.4 installation and there were not mails before, it might be somewhere in .kde/share/apps/kmail

Unfortunately some distributions even patched KMail to have a different location (instead of properly using a config file setting). For example there are Mandrake versions that put it in ~/.Mail
