OK, I was able to install it from the experimental repository now. Thanks.

Feedback:
- I started from zero (removed all configuration data).
- The first start takes ages (yes, I know...) and didn't succeed. It 
ended with a crash in one of the nepomuk apps. and I had to run 
kmail-mobile.sh one more time

- The account setup went fine but it took ~20m before I got to read my 
first mail. I use a GMail account with ~5000 mails in different folders 
(~2000 in my INBOX).

- During the 20m the system was >80% cpu for most of the time.

- I waited until the cpu usage dropped and started to use kmail-mobile.

- It is still slow. 3s is an optimistic value for feedback times. 
Opening a mail takes ~10s. Each time.

- The dotted background (metal style?) looks nice but decreases 
readability in the list view.

- There are red entries in the menu(s). Are these developer functions? 
Not implemented yet? What does it mean?


That's it for now. I will play around a bit more...
