you're right, at the end worse part is not Akonadi but pim, kmail is the
new killer app, once we used killer app for something good but now it's
really killing

right, lots of strange, eventually unacceptable handling decisions

and don't forget, everything in land-crossing-turtle-speed ... most
amazing of course this probably 'while not eof' loop for deleting a
bunch of messages from an imap mailbox, it is simply amazing watching
kmail eliminating one by one and the cursor jumping line by line,
amazing, really modern design ...  full state of art of MUA design, what
users want, easy and fast to install, no special knowledge necessary ...

and finally this 100 year old kmail problem is back, the splash screen
appears on long operations (I do not know why there are to be long
operations) and also on mailbox change and stays then there forever,
good work, no problem, users can close and launch kmail again right

you must be one of the lucky guys :)

I ended up downgrading to pim44 and then I couldn't delete messages in
my Inbox anymore
