Sebastian What I would do is running eopkg history in terminal to see what else was installed along kmail as dependency and uninstall those packages as well.
This shouldn't be necessary. You can see the dependency of any package with eopkg info
. e.g.
eopkg info kmail
I strongly recommend that if you do try uninstalling anything, you do a "dry run" first to see what might be uninstalled, especially when using --purge
. For example (use the actual package name, obviously):
eopkg uninstall package_name --dry-run
Sometimes trying to uninstall a package would result in a lot of other things also being uninstalled because of dependencies.
I've experienced this problem with leftover notifications myself (on Plasma, not Budgie). I had installed KMail and then gone back to using Thunderbird. I still saw notifications from KMail after it was uninstalled. (I really wish that when software deeply integrates itself, it also cleans up on uninstall without this kind of cruft)
KMail uses Akonadi Agents for notifications. These are tied into a database. Unfortunately, removing all the leftovers from KMail is not as easy as deleting some files or a directory, because of this.
The easiest way to stop receiving notifications from KMail, unfortunately, is to reinstall it and remove the email accounts and disable notifications in settings. There are threads in various forums going back a few years with users who have the same issue.
In KMail, you can go to Settings -> Configure KMail
Then, under Accounts, remove any mail accounts.
Then go to Plugins and uncheck the New Email Notifier.
After you do that, you can rename this file (don't remove it, so that if something goes wrong you can name it back):
mv ~/.config/kmail2rc ~/.config/kmail2rc.bak
Once you've disabled all the notifications, you can uninstall kmail with --purge
as suggested. Again, do a dry run first to make sure it won't remove anything you need.
For Kleopatra you should just be able to uninstall that package. Uninstalling it also uninstalls KMail, so I recommend doing that after you disable the notifications.
sudo eopkg rm kleopatra
As for removing the import assistant, I believe that removing the package akonadi-import-wizard
will remove it.
As an aside, if your email account is IMAP, you should be able to see all the folders in your account with Thunderbird. If not, you may have to tell Thunderbird to display those folders. If you want more information about that, please start another thread and we'll help you out.
