<tt>@ All,</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>I'd like to thank everybody for his input and appreciate,
that my question has met with so much interest.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Nevertheless, I have to say, that esp. the messages from
Bjoern caused more questions than answers for me: I'm not a
software engineer but only a simple user. Moreover, looking at
different sources, in several cases </tt><tt><tt>I found even </tt>contradictory
definitions, like I've documented in an earlier e-mail in this
thread. From <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi/Postgres_update">this
page</a> I understood, that using Akonadi with PostgreSQL needs
to have both the old and new PostgreSQL versions installed for an
update. This sounds like an adventure for me.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Finally I checked, which applications are using Akonadi and
found from </tt><tt><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi">this page</a></tt><tt>:</tt><tt><br>
</tt>
<ul>
<li><tt>KMail,</tt></li>
<li><tt>KAddressBook,</tt></li>
<li><tt>KOrganizer,</tt></li>
<li><tt>KJots,</tt></li>
<li><tt>KAlarm.</tt></li>
</ul>
<tt>For myself it's only regrettable to do without KAlarm, but I
found an acceptable alternative in <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://alarm-clock.pseudoberries.com/">alarm-clock-applet</a>.<br>
So for the future I'll try to live without Akonadi.<br>
<br>
Thanks again. Wish you a good and happy New Year 2021.<br>
Regards, Michael<br>
