(Not so?) hot take: user interfaces should not show event times using vague relative times like "11 hours ago" (I am looking at you, GitHub, but you're not alone) because it's a pain to compare with times of other events from my mail, chat, whatever.
No, showing the absolute time in a tooltip is not good enough.
@agateau It's my least-favorite anti-feature in #kde KMail, where i have never managed to switch off the lousy "yesterday" / "friday" display in the message list. This is why i wait a week before answering mail, then i can see the whole date.
KMail (and the whole of Kontact) behaves just like any other app. You don't have to use it and can uninstall it (or not install it in the first place) like any other app.
There is very little in Plasma that cannot be avoided or removed if you don't want it. Plasma it is not Windows.
@kde@kdedude@agateau Yes, I could, but for simplicity I usually don't install nor update each piece of KDE separately, but from a meta-package, and it would be reinstalled with the next upgrade!
This is why I would prefer a way to deactivate it and configure my preferred mailer.
That is a question for your distro, I'm afraid. There will be a configuration file or command for you package manager that will allow you to disable packages that are installed by default.
