Kmail is found under the Kontact program in KDE.You will see that in the taskbar along the bottom if your system is standard. It will start if you open a Konsole and type kmail in there and press enter if you prefer. If you want, you can add it to the menu later, I can explain how to do that if you like. I think that is what you mean - it isn't found under the Internet section of the menu nowadays for some strange reason. > I would also like to > install Firefox and Thunderbird as well as Moneydance which I gather will > run Quicken files.

TO install THunderbird and Firefox, you can either follow Robs advice and use apt-get from the command line or, if it is easier for you, open Adept from the System section of the menu and use the search box to find Firefox and Thunderbird - then simply click and select to install them that way.
