Office seems more natural to me than Internet to find KMail. Lots of people use mail clients in local office networks. I suspect most office users do not consider mail an internet app but an office app. Likewise for other PIM apps. The internet is only an extension of those office related apps.
Um, no, Darrell. Just, no. The other PIM applications maybe, but an email program is fundamentally an Internet program. Install an email application other than KMail and see where it places itself in the menu. I bet you it won't be under "Office". Anyone who has ever used a Linux box before will expect to find the email under "Internet", and the set of people who 1. are office workers who use email under *only* the circumstances you've described, *and* 2. want a real mail client instead of relying on webmail, *and* 3. have never used one before and so have no idea where to look for it is *tiny*.
Putting a menu entry in *both* places might make sense, but if the goal is to reduce clutter that's off the table. If we're only putting the thing in one place, "Internet" is the correct location.
