KDE/KMail simply takes all dictionaries that are provided by aspell or 
ispell or whatever spellchecker is used on your system. Judging from 
the list of dictionaries you seem to be using aspell. The only 
workaround I can suggest is to use ispell instead of aspell since the 
former provides much less dictionaries.

Alternatively, if you are the only person using your computer you could 
simply remove all dictionaries you do not want to use. On my system 
aspell's dictionaries are stored in /usr/lib64/aspell-0.60. Remove 
unnecessary .alias, .multi, and .rws files. The .rws files contain the 
actual words while the .alias and the .multi files just list 
other .multi or .rws files to use. It's probably better to move the 
files somewhere else instead of deleting them, so that you can easily 
restore a needed file. BTW, you need to be root to do this.
