If you are located in or visiting the Los Angeles area on the days of the event, DM Drew so you can just turn up and help!
@kde @druonysus @kde L.A. is a bit far for me, but I do hope he get lot of helpers.
And while I’m at it, thanks to all the good people at #KDE for their excellent work on Plasma and all their apps.
(I just wish Kmail wasn’t that far embedded into the desktop env’, so I could uninstall it without causing problem in my system, since I don’t use it. But that’s just me nitpicking, and might even be more a distro problem than a Plasma/KDE one.)
AFAIK Plasma does not need KMail or even Kontact to work 100%. Where are you getting that from?
@Bro666 My second to last install of Fedora which broke when I uninstalled some Kmail adjacent package. (Kcontacts among others.)
But you’re right, uninstalling Kmail itself doesn’t break Plasma.
Note that uninstalling (or choosing to not install) any part of KDE PIM (KMail, Kontact, Korganiser, Akonadi, etc.) should not affect Plasma or any other of its components*. if it does, you should notify your distro, because that is a bug in the packaging.

* For example, the calendar that pops up when you click the digital clock in the panel, should not be broken. It just won't show events or tasks from KDE PIM... Because PIM isn't there. Otherwise it should be fine.
@Bro666 @Bigou It shouldn't break anything. We explicitly have KDE PIM as a separate install group because people want to remove it or make custom minimal installs. It *does* reduce the functionality of KDE Plasma, but it shouldn't break it.
Yeah... I was surprised too.
