This one's from one of the gentoo/kde devs (running 4.10.3). He says it works great on his @work system, on a hard-wired network just across the lawn from the corporate mail server, but as of 4.10.3 still loses mail on his laptop when he tries to connect over definitely less than perfect connections while he's mobile.
http://dilfridge.blogspot.com/2013/05/personal-experience-and-opinion-kmail2.html He reached about the same conclusion I did some time ago, that (last sentence of the article): >> I am just getting more and more convinced that the complexity of this >> combined system is too much to handle and that kmail should never have >> gone the akonadi way. and (from a reply in the comments section): >> kmail using akonadi for e-mails is just plain wrong. It may be >> conceptionally a nice idea, but it will never become stable. So he's considering going back to kdepim-4.4 (which is still available on gentoo, altho it was set to be removed, but that might not happen now due to this), or trying something else, OfflineIMAP and Dovecot on the laptop and letting kmail2/akonadi connect to that, or some other email client, perhaps trojita. As regulars here know, I switched to claws-mail when I decided I'd had enough of lost mail, etc, and have been very happy with it. =:^) (I'd have tried trojita, but unfortunately it doesn't do POP3, and my providers don't do IMAP, so I'd have had to do some sort of fetchmail and local dovecot solution or the like myself, to run trojita. Which might have been what I would have done had claws-mail not worked so well.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
