You don't :(

This is only offered by the web client at the moment. The web client  
is reachable via http://... but your Kontact is not. So for the web  
client it is no problem to withhold an attachment when sending an  
e-mail and offer it for download instead. To offer the same feature  
for Kontact would be possible but requires a decent amount of work (on  
the side of the client and the server). Though I assume one could base  
it on the functionality already provided by the Kolab web client.

Cheers,

Gunnar
