Richard,
If you want to use kmail that's fine but I am also running SuSE 9.3 and
I tell you...if you search the packages in YaST, it is available but as
John said, it is not in the default install (evolution is). You have to
use YaST to install the RPM and yes... it is a SuSE RPM. Not an outside
package or source.
