Then why there is additional proxy process (Akonadi) between KMail and
DBMS? What special functions this Akonadi service does that require it
to be additional process? Why can't it be just shared library that
will adapt this PIM API (so called Akonadi) to DBMS services? In other
words: put Akonadi as shared library inside KMail, Calendar, etc.
instead of separate process.
