Just a data point * kmail in Wheezy does not need Akonadi--if kmail in a later version of Debian requires Akonadi, I'll be looking for another email client. Oh, to be a little more precise, Akonadi is on the system, and it restarts at every boot (I boot very rarely, maybe 2 to 4 times a year, and really, only in the case of problems). The first thing I do after rebooting is to stop Akonadi. Thus, it neither slows down my system nor uses memory (disk or RAM) (beyond a nominal amount).
