Just to make sure I understand your answer: this means that, even if I
_only_ want to read and write email messages from/to the
Akonadi-controlled storage, I just cannot do it with the standard IMAP
modules already existing for Python or Perl? Or it means that I cannot
exploit _all_ of Akonadi's power, but only the simpler IMAP
operations?

If the already existing modules are not compatible at all with
Akonadi, what is the reason for this lack of backward compatibility?

is this library usable from Perl or Python, as far as email only is
concerned?

Thank you so much for the prompt answer, I look forward to learn
more. I'll also contact Richard.
