DCOP is not supported anymore. You should look into D-Bus notifications.
http://mvidner.blogspot.com/2008/04/d-bus-sightseeing.html shows an example on 
how to do something like that. Some more background on D-Bus can be found at

Why would you like to send an e-mail? What would be the contents? I would not 
want to send out e-mails automatically w/o user intervention.

That's probably a question to be posted on the kdepim-devel list. During the 
first use of your program, make sure that you have a valid path to send the 
mails. Otherwise, users won't like your software, because it does not work and 
they don't know that they have to setup KMail.

What do you have in mind? Do you want to store the whole structure in a single 
DB field or should each element of the structure (class) be stored in its own 
DB field? QSqlTableModel / QVariant are some candidates to look into.
