Thanks, Giuseppe, if I get this right you are not comfortable with that Akonadi
temporarily stores moved mails in database or file_db_data (depending on
payload size) instead of moving them directly to the destination folder and
that by copying and deleting you instead get an instant move?

Well, currently this Akonadi works as designed. Its in the design that Akonadi
will also cache *writes* for some amount of time. I don´t know why according to
how I understand you it doesn´t do that on copy/delete instead of move, but I
know that basically its currently how its working. For some usecases this is
may even be needed, i.e. when a backend, like IMAP server, is unreachable and
KMail would like to store a sent mail into sent folder of it.

If its this, then I suggest I set the report to confirmed but also make it a
wishlist item. I also would like Akonadi to *only* be a read cache for all use
cases,  so that you can safely remove the cache at any time. But currently this
is not how Akonadi is designed to work. And for some workloads it may not even
be possible to do it this way (like storing mail on IMAP server).

So please tell me, whether I got your concern correctly and I will make the
suggested changes to the bug report. As far as I got during KDE Randa Meetings
the team is aware of this behavior. And there are ideas to change it at least
partly. Feel free to discuss on IRC #kontact or mailinglist. (I think the bug
should just track the request / wish as such.)
