If you are located in or visiting the Los Angeles area on the days of the event, DM Drew so you can just turn up and help!
AFAIK Plasma does not need KMail or even Kontact to work 100%. Where are you getting that from?
@Bro666 My second to last install of Fedora which broke when I uninstalled some Kmail adjacent package. (Kcontacts among others.)
But you’re right, uninstalling Kmail itself doesn’t break Plasma.
Note that uninstalling (or choosing to not install) any part of KDE PIM (KMail, Kontact, Korganiser, Akonadi, etc.) should not affect Plasma or any other of its components*. if it does, you should notify your distro, because that is a bug in the packaging.

* For example, the calendar that pops up when you click the digital clock in the panel, should not be broken. It just won't show events or tasks from KDE PIM... Because PIM isn't there. Otherwise it should be fine.
@Bro666 @Bigou It shouldn't break anything. We explicitly have KDE PIM as a separate install group because people want to remove it or make custom minimal installs. It *does* reduce the functionality of KDE Plasma, but it shouldn't break it.
Yeah... I was surprised too.
