I installed my first 4.7.x kdepim on 30th of July. I was quite happy with it. Migration went smooth and I only had to recreate my filters, I guess because the filters’ target folders were now addressed differently. kdepimlibs-4.7.3 came on 4th of november. The only thing I remember from the last weeks is that I was unable to read any mail. All I got in KMail were revolving cirlces and “Fetching folder content” screens. I didn’t lose any mail, as far as I can tell. But I was growing tired of Akondi even before that. So being unable to read anything finally pushed me to mutt. ^^ I don’t have _that_ many mails, at the time of my switching about 13000 or so, mostly in a few mailing lists. The average dev probably has much more than that. But even with that number, I had more than 30 seconds of additional full HDD load after login (once I removed the mail resources, login time until idle went from 1:05 to ~33 seconds). Plus, all mail files were individually duplicated in the Akonadi folder... what gives? While I understand the reasoning behind Akonadi and its potential, I do question the implementation. I might try it again in 4.8, but right now I’m keeping my hands off. That’s probably not what you wanted to hear, but I just couldn’t resist. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' I forbid any use of my email addresses with Facebook services.
