You edit the desktop file associated with the mini-icon you want to 
change.

In $HOME/.kde/share/config you will find a file called 
launcher_panelapplet_<some obscure number>_rc
That file lists the desktop files that are used to start the 
applications in your mini-icon list.
See what desktop file starts your kmail, and edit that file to your 
preferences.

Best regards :o)
