I have to agree, it is almost as bloated as a windoze app.  I won't open it up 
and use KMail instead.  Still, they tried to wreak that too but I now bypass 
Kontact and use KMail only.  In fact when I was told I couldn't use KMail 
without Kontact, I went to Claws instead till someone told me how to use only 
KMail.  If it is not running, does it still use resources?

I think since it is integrated into the Gnome desktop environment it can only 
be not used rather than deleted as other parts are needed for other apps in 
Gnome.  As you may have surmised, I personally use the KDE desktop 
environment but the problem is much the same.  I can't remove Kontact either 
without affecting the workings of KDE.

Yes to a certain extent, but if you wish to use one of the environments there 
is the bit of overhead to contend with.  MickySoft would also be so much 
better, more powerful, and faster if Windoze could just be dropped and the 
DOS underneath used instead.  Convenience has its price! ;)
