[Kde-pim] Migration to KMail2 - feedback

[Andreas Gungl]

Hi guys,

when I decided to switch to OpenSUSE 12.2, I knew I'd have to migrate to 
KMail2. While it was a pain initially, now I'm mostly satisfied with KMail 
4.8.5. (Of course I know, there are newer versions available. But those 
packages showed some conflicts which is why I decided to go with this version 
for a while.)

Some issues might be interesting. As KWallet hasn't been used before, I was 
asked to create one to store the account passwords in it. My question is, do I 
still have a chance to store some passwords permanently, but to be forced to 
input some other passwords each time I use the related account?
I used it that way in the previous version. Now I'm afraid, if I use the 
wallet, each password will be put into it unconditionally at the first usage. 
Would be nice if someone could enlighten me here.

Further all migrations (three accounts on this box) went wrong. It may be 
related to the KDE version. I helped myself be removing the created config files 
and to start the migration in the manual mode. Then everything worked fine. 
(But hey, who else knows how to do that?)

I had some mbox files in my local mail folder/resource. As they had ~20.000 - 
30.000 messages, I couldn't really work with them. Sometimes the CPU was 
hogged for >45 min without any result but an unresponsive KMail application. 
It took me ages to move the files into a mail dir based folder. Now I can at 
least work with KMail on a level which doesn't bother me too much.

So after all, I'm happy having only small drawbacks to what I was used to 
before the migration. And I'm looking forward to the improvements in KDE 4.9 
and on.

Best regards,
Andreas
