I don't recall mail being a critical path function. I'm not convinced
kdepim should be critpath.

The wiki states:

    graphical network install
    post-install booting
    decrypt encrypted filesystems
    graphics
    login
    networking
    get updates
    minimal buildroot
    compose new trees
    compose live 

None of those includes email, or anything else kdepim handles.
