The KDEPIM / Akonadi situation

[Christian Loosli]

Hi Martin, 

thank you very much for bringing this up. 
I had a minor rant about the situation on the enterprise list back when I also 
used KDE apps at work, I'm afraid from what I can see the situation is mostly 
the same. I ended up with a messed up DB a couple of times that I was only 
able to solve by simply deleting and re-adding the IMAP account. 

As a funny bit of irony, I tried to reply to your message earlier, but kmail 
wouldn't let me because it asked me, with a pop up, to wait for transmission 
of the message for a couple of minutes. 

Unfortunately I also don't have any ready-made solution for it, we can't 
really force people to work on a certain product, and the whole akonadi-stack 
is probably also not something terribly new-person-friendly. 

I know that there was an alternative being worked on, but I lost track of that 
as well. Maybe making it a goal could help, or to have some sort of sprint 
around it. Or, even though I personally am usually very much against these, 
some sort of bounty. 

In any case I think the situation needs improvement and I'm glad you brought 
it up, so this is mostly in support of the request, because it stayed reply-
less for a while. 

Kind regards, 

Christian
