Well, first you need the development version of KDEPIM, as explained on 
techbase [1]. After building KDEPIM, you can run and test KMail. You'll soon 
notice some bugs (if not, there is a list of regressions available at [2]). 
Well, start with fixing one of those bugs, preferrable something easy to get 
used to it. You could also add some feature, but I would prefer bugfixes.
After you fixed the bug, send the patch (which is the output of "svn diff" in 
the source directory) to this mailinglist, we'll then review and commit it.
After sending some patches, you can get commit access yourself.

To stay up-to-date with the development, you should probably read the commits 
to KDEPIM, you can do this with commitfilter [3]. You can also hang around in 
the #kontact IRC channel, were most of the developers are.

I hope this answers your question, if anything is still unclear, just ask.

Regards,
Thomas
