Hello,
Kevins' description would be correct if you experience Kmail inoperative
on removal of the rest of, or any other part of KDE.
On the other hand, I have removed Kmail, and kept a perfectly
operational Konqueror, which is an application that you would expect to
be more likely to share dependencies with Kmail. Take your time with
removal of applications, apt will let you know about dependencies, or
you'll spend as much time doing reinstalls as I do.
Regards,
David.
