            Bug ID: 302499
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.8
          Priority: NOR

           Summary: Akonadi's MySQL database gets corrupted very easily
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: cc at mail.3d.hu
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: Akonadi

If Akonadi or the computer crashes, it's very likely that the underlying MySQL
database is left in a corrupt state, and Akonadi fails to start for the next
time. The only solution is to delete the database, which yields a complete
resync of e-mail folders, for example, that can take several hours leaving the
user without e-mail access for that long.

This fragile nature of the database should be addressed. Maybe by using a more
robust backend, or by somehow forcing the MySQL server to keep data in a
consistent state on disk.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Pull the plug from the computer (happens).
Actual Results:  
Akonadi Server Self-Test reports 'MySQL server log contains errors' when KMail
is started for the next time.

Expected Results:  
It should tolerate errors like this.
