I am sorry if my comment came over apparently as personal to you, it was not 
my intention

I know that you are the most helpfull person on this list, also your help is 
always technical very qualified, thank you, so what follows is also nothing 
personal to you

unfortunately this kdepim/akonadi/sql thing effects my mood and it got personal 
for me, since my work is compromised for two weeks now

I lead a SW development team and I know how hard it can be, but with best 
intentions from my side and professional view, I have to say that kmail is far 
off target

a very old email client skelleton, still full of problems in terms of imap 
handling is being migrated/integrated to "something" with no future

simplicity is the success keyword for working software 

for my understandings database storing is for speeding things up, so I have no 
clew how things can get slower, may be somebody needs a basic sql training and 
rewrite the whole thing

of course, i also have no clew, what the heck I need a database framework for 
some imap accounts on my desktop

this folder selection settings always was something very not understandable in 
kmail's project, now, it simply got migrated and most wired for me, nobody 
seems to care. If there where settings to change the default, ok, but that 
kmail changes the default of draft/sent/trash folders, my-o-my ... 

if there is need for email/calendar/contacts/groupware integration, ok, make a 
software package for whom who needs it 

such a framework as standard email client on a Desktop, guys, no words for 
that, sad is that nobody stopped it in time

buttom line, now we have a project not a program anymore, now we have to learn 
how to set up such a monster and what we get in return, a rediculous slow 
email client which needs 3-4 minutes to delete 800 messages from a folder and 
after completing it still shows me a childish foot note, counting the 
processed messages, one extra minute to wait ... seems it is calling an ntfs 
drive on another continent over a slow connection link and not a local 
database ... 

but please, nothing personal dear developers
