Well, if you think about it "iMail" can be thought of combining "I" or "Me" and "Mail". So, "My Mail" or "Mail for Me". How does "KMail" sound like phoneticall

How does "KMail" sound like phonetically ? KayMail ? KeiMeil ?
It just doesn't give the same vibe. The designers at Apple know that "iPhone" means something to the user.
Even gPhone would be better, but Google has that covered already.
KDE doesn't really stand for anything or it's phonetical counterpart doesn't communicate anything meaningful to the user.
I just looked it up and, K used to stand for "Kool", but already that is not a real word, doesn't look good or even sound good, at least to my ears or thinking.
Also iMac came from "Internet" back then, so it had multiple meanings behind it.
