Will the FreeBSD release of 4.8 include the new KDE PIM software, or
is that still being held back for additional testing?
Yes, it will be available via deskutils/kdepim4, while the old one
will be moved to deskutils/kdepim44. I have to say that my experience
with the new one is simply bad.
I tried 4.7 a couple months ago and couldn't get it working either.
Does it work on Linux? Because I can't imagine anyone would ever
release such broken code. Maybe we're missing something on FreeBSD.
kdepim-4.8 does work on my Sabayon installation, but it is considerably
slower than kdepim-4.4 on Sabayon and FreeBSD (at least with my inbox -
about 4e4 mails and 100 folders). I've tried kdepim-4.8.1 on FreeBSD
once, I've managed to migrate my settings, but had no success with
mails migration. I didn't investigate the problem though.
What I've been hearing in different lists, blog posts and IRC channels
is that kdepim is getting better at each release, but it still
occasionally eats babies. I haven't really tested it for quite some time
(I've become a Gnus convert for mail and didn't use the rest of the
applications besides KAlarm).
I wonder if it makes sense for us to stay at 4.4 for a few more releases
and avoid some hate mail.

With the release of 4.7.4 last January, korganizer lost the ability to
access contact and calendar data in local files. That was rather painful.
At least one other person reported this[1], so I don't think it's just me.
I think there have been other regressions as well (e.g. knotes).
This, along with your observation[2] that kdepim44 is no longer maintained
makes me think we'd be better off moving forward with the new kdepim now.
