Doesn't really make sense. One advantage of using the _same_ location is 
that newly arrived messages will also be visible to 4.4 (if you go 
back). All you will lose is some meta data (e.g. the state of the 
messages). Another advantage of limiting the migration to the meta data 
(e.g. the information in KMail's index files) is that there is less 
potential for migration errors.

In any case, you worry too much. Akonadi will not eat your data. The 
worst that could happen is that the migration fails and that Akonadi 
will not see all of your old data. In that case, you can simply go back 
to 4.4 and wait for the next version of the ATP.
