(In reply to comment #37)
I satisfied with how kmail works without nepomuk.

To tell truth — I really tried to use nepomuk, but what can I do if it's an
unusable thing? I set only one folder for indexing, which contains ruby/ruby on
rails projects, but nepomuk fails to index it, it prefer to crash instead. So,
my solution is in use mc. When you need to find something, it works perfectly,
eat less that 10Mb of memory, doesn't need a half an hour for indexing before
(I also can't understand what nepomuk indexing every time I power on my PC,
when it was configured to not index anything?).

I don't understand a reason to have such thing as nepomuk, when I need to
search something once a month... Why should I need a such kind of primitive
google on my desktop? It only makes my PC slow and don't give any profit and I
think that at least 50% (if not all 95%) of KDE users will agree with that.

If kmail requires such thing — let it be smoother and faster, invisible for
users. You should separate nepomuk system and make it configurable in a bit
other way:
1. Remove option "disable nepomuk" at all. If it's required by system it should
be always enabled.
2. Load it in as minimal configuration as possible to perform only system
requirements (if additional folders for indexing was not specified).
3. Remove all preselected by default folders for indexing. So when user run KDE
first time it will have positive impression. Then it even will not has a
thoughts to disable something (when I had to run KDE first time I was a bit
shocked and my first thought was like: "***** ***** *****, how can I stop
it!?").
4. In system settings you should leave only indexing configuration, so users
which needs such indexing will be able to enable and configure it.

If there is not possible to do that, you definitely should add a tick "don't
ask again", instead of sending tons of notifications later.
