I agree that all these packages are useful for kmail and korganizer. However, especially when using multiple machines, a browser web can be said to be essential but a complete mail suite is not. I have different computers but only one is used for e-mail, from my point of view is not useful to have kmail and friends installed by default on all my computers by default because they serve different purposes. And, again, I think that kmail and its complementary applications installed by default are too much for the general public. We power users have our needs but the majority out there has more simple needs. For a lot of people the web interface of their only e-mail account is more than enough, meaning that what they need is just a web browser. Francesco
