And it should be possible for Gnome/Sawfish/Icewm/Blackbox/fvwm/whatever 
users to use KMail without the need to install kdebase just to get 
those two slaves. Yes, I know. The distributors should ... blablabla. 
What about people who prefer to compile from source? After all KDE 
releases source code only, remember? With having the POP3 and the IMAP 
slave in kdebase you force those people to download the huge kdebase 
tarball just for the tiny POP3 and IMAP ioslaves:

kde/3.1> du -s kdebase/kioslave/pop3/ kdebase/kioslave/imap4/ kdebase/
72      kdebase/kioslave/pop3
288     kdebase/kioslave/imap4
52416   kdebase

That's ridiculous.

Ingo
