Trying to run KMail in LXDE I found that some 75 other programs downloaded too. Among them Akonadi Strigi and so on.
Packages, not programs. And for this high number you presumably count everything needed from the KDE stack and also all packages which are recommended. You can try installing without the recommended packages (e.g. zypper install --no-recommends).
I wondered if I could use an older KMail with less dependencies.
Or you can try to install a version from an older openSUSE release. KDE libraries are backwards compatible, so this generally should work, if you have all requirements.
Or, of course, you can also realize that the number of packages doesn't matter and that the space taken by them is not really that much, especially nowadays.
When I ran SuSE 10.0, I was using KMail. At some point, KMail started to produce approximately 10% of received messages in some Asiatic font, from which there was no recovery; that is to say, the mail could not be recovered and read by any means known to me. (I brought this to the attention of this list, with no solution.) I don't know what version of KMail was used in 10.0, but I would advise you to find out, before committing to its use. Ever since that time, I have used Mozilla Thunderbird for email, in both Linux and Windows, and with the exception of one version which did not permit "replies to list only" I have been 100% satisfied with it. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.
