Hi,

About your first question: do it in two steps.. Edit your
/etc/X11/XF86Config (or XF86Config-4) and:
1. In the section of your mouse, increase the amount of buttons. Each
wheel equals to three buttons, as weird as it sounds: scroll-up,
scrol-down, and click.
Then, if you have two buttons + two wheels on your mouse, you should
define 2+3+3 = 8 buttons.
Option "Buttons" "8".

2. You should now define which "buttons" will do the scrolling, with the
option "ZAxisMapping". You should probably put there "4 5 7 8" (I think
that these are the buttons of scrolling).
Try it, maybe it won't work well and one REAL button will scroll down,
then try another numbers. You can use 'xev' for nicer testings. Have
fun.


About your second question, sounds like something you should modify in
the code, or convice the author to change this in the code. (Unless
there's an option to change that in KMail, I don't know it too well. use
evolution :) ).
