--- Comment #8 from Matthias Heinz <m...@familie-heinz.name> ---
I've been thinking about this for far too long now. The question I have is: Why
is there a kdepim-addons package at all? Historically it maybe made sense to
outsource some plugins to keep kmail from occupying too much disk space. But
imho this constraint doesn't exist anymore when even 64 GB SD cards cost less
than butter.

Some other programs like iirc kleopatra have a dialog showing what plugins are
missing. I'm not sure if that is a good solution for kmail though. It would be
great to have a list of missing plugins somewhere, because I looked everywhere
in the settings dialog for an option to enable calender invite parsing, but
never thought about another package...

But I'm not a kde developer, it's not my choice how to solve this. (Or if at
all. Most users will install the full kdepim suite and never run into this
problem. But then this is another point in favor of integrating the plugins
into kmail directly and getting rid of the kdepim-addons package)
