Sérgio while I understand that you are frustrated about this, your pain is 
self inflicted.

You stick to KDEPIM 2 which does currently not work to your satisfaction. 
And then you say "nepomuk sucks", demand the developers to read a rather 
long mailing list thread and fix it.

How on earth, Sérgio, is this going to change your experience of suffering 
pain?

It isn´t. Actually it can´t.

There is nothing wrong with your feeling frustrated, but accusing others 
for the pain you inflict on your self by sticking to software which 
apparently does not work for you, will not bring you to a different 
experience.

Some of your options to get a different experience are in my opinion:

1) Ask how you can help to make it happen that KDEPIM 2 holds up to your 
expectations, provide a bug report that help the KDEPIM / Nepomuk 
developers to fix your problem. Steps for that can be:

- close your "nepomuk sucks" bug report with a big "sorry" attached
- open new bug reports for the most pressing issues that you see
- feel free to link to this thread, but in the bug reports also provide 
the key points and key data to give KDEPIM / Nepomuk developers a quick 
insight into the problem
- try to gather debug data, there have been blog posts and there are 
threads about nepomuk related debugging on kdepim and possibly also 
nepomuk mailing lists.

2) Use a different mail client.

3) Or use a distro that means stable when saying stable such as Debian 
Stable. A distro that still carries KDEPIM 1 as of 4.4.5. Even the 
development branches of Debian namely Wheezy and Sid - when you feel 
adventurous - seem to be rather stable to me and still carry KDEPIM 1 for 
now. With Debian Stable you can still use KDEPIM 1 for at least one and a 
half year, in my estimation at least two years to come. Of cause there may 
be other distributions like maybe Centos that may carry old KDEPIM even 
longer.

If you consider KDEPIM 2 not to be production ready then by all means help 
to make it so or switch clients.

Its simply as easy as that.

And yes, you are entitled every right to feel frustrated about your 
expectations not being satisfied at the moment.

But please just don´t make someone else responsible for your self inflicted 
pain.

(I copy and pasted some stuff I wrote at kdepim mailinglist in order to 
save me some writing work and time.)

Thanks,
