for end users, this means that the only way for them to store email into
akonadi is to use mailody or kmail, until/unless somebody integrates
libakonadi-kde into Evolution, Thunderbird or any other FOSS client,right?
(this is not a critique, I just want to be sure I got it right)

OK, if you add new functionalities nobody expects them to be usable by
"legacy" software (ie programs not including libakonadi-kde) I just expected
that the basic IMAP functions would remain the same as in the IMAP standard

Er... how could I contact RIchard? I haven't found an email address or
contact form for him :-(
