Looks akward TBH. KMail is a professional tool, having toy mascots
might be OK for Edu or Games, it really looks very unprofessional for
a handbook of a software that also targets enterprises. I wouldn't put
the old Konqi in there either, for the same reasons.

The logo looks borked on my side, what happend to the KMail Icon?
There should be a scalable version of the Oxygen icon, no? Seems
certainly more suitable than toy figures.
