For a test, install any distribution without KDE, then try to install Kmail,<br>
and see how many Mb you have to install....<br>
<br>
Given that most users only need a simple email client, with attached<br>
addressbook, what about a Kmail-lite, that would be smaller, faster and<br>
simpler, for those users who do not feel the need to have a complete<br>
petrochemical works for preparing a cup of tea....<br>
