As far as I can see there is actually no remaining KDateTime usage on the 
mail/contact side apart from what's "leaking" out of KCalCore when interacting 
with that. Date/time handling in KMime etc. is all already ported AFAICS.

In kdepim there's small remaining usage in libkdepim and messageviewer, from 
interfacing with KCalCore, the bulk is in calendaring libraries 
(calendarsupport, incidence editor, calendar views) and korganizer/kalarm.
