I understand where you are coming from. Still, even if there is no shortcut people can still hide the menubar by mistake via the "Hide menubar" entry in the Settings menu and then cannot bring it back because they do not know about Ctrl+M. The action to hide the menubar was removed from KMail for exactly this reason. (Unfortunately, I've not been able to find the corresponding bug.)

Since you do not simply want to hide the menubar but also want to have the possibility to show it if necessary, adding a non-GUI config option for hiding the menubar is not an option.

Therefore I propose the following solution:
We re-add the show/hide menubar action to KMail, but we neither assign a shortcut to it nor do we make it available in the menu. Then you can enable the option for your users by editting the global kmmainwin.rc or by putting an editted version of the kmmainwin.rc into your users ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail.

Note that this comment is just meant as hint for a possible implementor. It should not be read as "Consider it done."
