There is a reason: The users probably have created an imap / kolab calendar or 
addressbook resource. Since these resources access the data through dcop to 
kmail, and since korgac is started on login and lots of applications access 
the addressbook (like kopete), they need to start kmail. 

It's just necessary to start kmail, but it won't happen in a plain vanilla kde 
installation, only when the users set up an imap resource.

Cheers,
Reinhold
