"Why exactly are we reinventing Evolution here anyways?"

Who is "we"? I'm not even sure that Evolution predates KMail. Anyway, I don't think that building a modular and well-designed PIM suite integrated with KDE counts as "reinventing Evolution", anyway.

"Wouldn't it be easier just to port Evolution to KDE 4/Qt"

I'm sure the GNOME guys would love it if someone ported their official mail client to a completely different toolkit!

And no - "porting Evolution to KDE 4/Qt" is basically the same statement as "starting from scratch, write a KDE 4/ Qt mail client that is a clone of Evolution".

"Why not just merge it with Evolution?"

It would be great if you had the slightest grasp of software engineering before you started second-guessing the KDE developers.
