Just to make it clear: if one part of KDE gets funding for a certain purpose
from the EU, a company, an individual, it doesn't mean the rest also gets
ANYTHING from that. Most of the developers still do this in their free time.
In some cases they do it on work time, but with specific goals required by
their employer. This might or might not include what you (or other users)
imagine.

FYI, KMail has a manual, so does Kontact. Might be partially outdated, but
it has.
Not having a manual is bad, I agree, but I also said what is the reasoning
and the only way to change this situation is to join the project and help.
