KMail does not depend on KAddressBook. But KMail and KAddressBook and 
almost any other KDE application dealing with email addresses or other 
aspects of contacts use the same backend for accessing contacts. And 
this backend uses Akonadi.

So you can easily have KMail without KAddressBook. But you cannot have 
KMail without Akonadi. (Just because your distribution is not able to 
get the dependencies for KMail right is no reason to ask how to disable 
Akonadi.)
