Will, that's a good idea. Meanwhile I'm using the 4.8 RPMs from the build 
service repository. They are much better than the shipped 4.7, except that I 
had to switch off Nepomuk. :-) Anyway, my messages are on an IMAP account, so I 
can use T-Bird in parallel once KMail/Kontact goes crazy or when I need to 
search for messages.

Nevertheless, the 4.8 release is IMO nearly on the same level as 4.4 once the 
indexing problems have been solved. And I know what I'm talking about as I'm 
running 4.8 (on 12.1) in the office while I still use 11.4 at home. And I won't 
upgrade at home before the PIM suite in the office has no drawbacks anymore. I 
think, I don't have to wait too long. Big thanks to those working on the PIM 
suite. The progress is remarkable, and a 4.9 release certainly can meet the 
expectations of the users of the pre-akonadi suite.

Andreas
