Well,I saw them as well. They are indeed not nice, but one can work around 
them.
There are other things which are bigger show stoppers for me:
1. Its seems that you only can use contacts, calendar and other apps, if you 
have a kolab server available. I do not know any one or any service who 
provides this. So most people can not use those apps. I would wish some of the 
other akonadi interfaces, like for google or exchange.

2. Beside of point 1, it also would be great if akonadi could use the maemo 
databases of the contacts, calendar, email account. As maemo already has a 
good working mail for exchange client this would be a great advantage.
Right now I use my emails over IMAP but the contacts/calendar are synced to 
google over a commercial service provider. I could not get the direct syncing 
with syncML  and so on working properly.

3. Start up of an app is very slow, for a while I even only see a white 
screen. I know that the start up might not be fastened due the data to be 
loaded, so I could live with that.

4. I tried to open a link in an email (a facebook comment notification). There 
was no interaction feedback, so i pushed it several times.After a moment 
several transfer windows opened. It seems they tried to download this links. 
Then they wanted to open it with my debian installer. There should be a way 
that links get opened with the default webbrowser. Same for attachments. They 
should be able to get opened with an editor, image viewer or freeoffice.

5. In my kmail account list, I can see my IMAP account, a local folder account 
and 8 akonadi maildir resources. Why are they there?what are they for? I can 
not edit them (but delete is available)


Beside of that I really like kmail.
The flaps on the side are cool once you get used to them.
Like somebody said before, the button on the top left corner is too small.
Also there should be a close button on the top right corner.

Please let me know if I can be of any help.
I haven’t programmed yet for KDE programs, but developed some apps with Qt and 
python.
