I second that. Regardless of all Akonadi hype, I have never got it to work
myself, nor heard anyone actually using it even I've asked quite a few KDE
users about it.

Relaying heavily on server software that is now doomed to die and scatter to
many competing projects, its future looks even more confusing.

I'd rather see an working implementation and proof of people adopting that,
than driving people to something that doesn't exist yet. That's how it was seen
in freedesktop.org which somehow came as a surprise for people pushing it.

Personally I'd like to see native IMAP and Directory resources supported as
everything else until there is enough proof of concept from new radical
approaches.
