Hey Thomas
We all appreciate all your work for Kmail.

I have just one problem with your priorities. 

Who has required porting Kmail to Akonadi? How much votes do you have for this
and why is this higher priority than HTML support?

It looks like you are building skyscraper on 5th avenue but people in Bronx
still don't have roof on their houses.
