Ok I changed my server side subscriptions to select folders and at least my 
cache is down to 3 GB from 8 GB. :) Really kewl that one can do that.

akonadictl start seems to always error out and fail on vfat (Sorry, I didn't 
log the messages).

I repartitioned my phone as per 
http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash#Solution_.231:_swap_.2Fhome_and_MyDocs_partition 
as now kontact touch works great. Initial sync did take reeeeaaallly long. :)

I quite like the set up I have now because I've got an offline copy of most of 
my mail without and lots more reliable ext3 space.

Haven't managed to get my calendar working yet(am using kolab), didn't just 
work. 

I also notice duplicate contacts in kde contacts mobile, which don't display 
duplicates in normal kontact and horde web interface. Also in the kde contacts 
app, the info isn't clickable/touchable, ie dial a number, or simply email the 
contact from the app isn't easy.

I'm sure this is all known info, as it's a still a work in progress, but 
fantastic app so far and like the easy browsing of folders in kmail.

Greetings :)
