Great!

I use it for, well I think a year now on some systems. But with KDEPIM 1 
4.4.x, cause Debian does not carry KDEPIM 2 yet. So only the address book 
and the calender and journal use Akonadi here.

This works.

Only thing I found and reported is that one has to give path to PostgreSQL 
server binary with PostgreSQL version 9.1 like this:

martin at merkaba:~> cat .config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc 
[%General]
Driver=QPSQL

[QPSQL]
Name=akonadi
Host=/home/martin/.local/share/akonadi/socket-merkaba
Options=
ServerPath=/usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/pg_ctl
InitDbPath=/usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/initdb
StartServer=true

[Debug]
Tracer=null

Otherwise the Akonadi backend does not find it here.

Everything except database name and the binary paths has been added by 
Akonadi itself, I think. Maybe even the database name.

I reported having to manually specify the path as a bug already.


The database on my private laptop user is:

martin at merkaba:~/.local/share/akonadi> du -sh db_data
68M     db_data

I also use it for my company user on the laptop and also on a workstation at 
work that uses a central PostgreSQL server.

All of these seem to work just fine.

As for your other questions I don´t know, I just use the backend.

Thanks,
