[Kde-pim] Akonadi keeps re-downloading gigabytes of mail, and other problems

[Tobias Berner]

Hi all

This seems to be exactly the same situation I've been experiencing [including
the "bad" experiences in irc ^^] with kdepim in all the kf5-based versions 
I've tried so far on FreeBSD. So you're  at least not alone.

This happens with imaps.gmail.com, imaps.bluewin.ch, and the one from my 
work place...
