KDE 4.10.1 Upgrade and Kmail

[NoIBnds]

I did the KDE upgrade on PASS. It brought in the KMail application. I use KOrganizer, but have not used KMail and didn't have it on the system. I tried to remove it, and it removed KOrganizer also. I removed it all and then tried to just install KOrganizer and it brought back KMail and the rest. Now I have all this stuff running on the system with the Akonaki server and other mail services. How can I get rid of KMail and keep KOrganizer. I use Thunderbird for mail, and have for years. I have no need for KMail on my system.

I suspect the packager decided to make all the PIM applications all-or-nothing. I also dislike kmail intensely and don't want it on my system, since it lost large numbers of e-mails and I spent a couple of days recovering as many as I could. I don't trust it and I don't want it, but I'm stuck with it too, in my case because I use kalarm.

I don't know what has changed here since the previous version of KDE, so I can't hazard a guess as to whether this is a packaging error or something forced on us by KDE, who seem to be becoming increasingly dictatorial and MS-like at the moment.
