Works fine here.
Perhaps there is a pb in doc for your country.

kdelibs-4.3.5/kutils/kcmultidialog.cpp:246
246       KUrl docUrl( KUrl( "help:/" ), docPath );

in my case, docPath is empty.  The code should disable the button if docPath is empty, which it does not do (sub-bug_A).

That is because *d->modules["Konta"].d_ptr->modInfo.d->doc.d is empty.  It is configured in KCModuleInfo::Private::loadAll using the following code:

127       doc = service->property( "X-DocPath", QVariant::String ).toString();

at usr/src/debug/kdelibs-4.3.5/kutils/kcmoduleinfo.cpp:127

The service in question is kmail_config_accounts.desktop. For the documentation button to work, the service must have an X-DocPath entry.

However, the file /usr/share/kde4/services/kmail_config_accounts.desktop does not have such an entry, neither in English nor in any other language (sub-bug_B).

QED.
