Hi, all--

"Everything else" does not require a double-click to activate. In KDE it's an option, whose default seems to have changed from single-click to double-click to activate / open, which I don't personally care for. I set KDE to double-click activation. (Back in the day, everything required double-click to activate while single click selected. Apple understood the value of this UI pattern. Web browsers broke it and we've been sliding away from this pattern ever since.) As far as KMail goes, you can configure the message so-called preview pane so you don't see message contents in separate windows at all, which is how I use it.
