> Hello,
>
> First I'd like to tell you how my KMail2/akonadi has been set up:
> I've been using KDE/KMail since the year 2000 and had been always very
> pleased with it. But then I switched to KDE4 and finally KDEPIM 4.7.4
> as it went stable in Gentoo.
>
> First migrating KMail1 to KMail2 failed and I had to do it manually,
> i.e. import every single mail folder. Finally I had my old emails in
> KMail2. Then I tried to recreate my mail accounts, POP3 and IMAP. POP3
> is fine, IMAP a nightmare. I had to stop using IMAP as every email
> that was moved by a filter reappeared in the inbox. This happened also
> for almost every email I manually deleted or moved. I moved avway from
> IMAP and use POP3 for it now.
> Nevertheless KMail2 was usable since then (but it never got as
> responsive as KMail1 had been). And I also thought that I don't have
> problems.
>
> Then Gentoo made akonadi 1.7.2 stable (had been 1.6.1) which I
> installed and then my problems started. KMail2 was almost unusable.
> Switching to another local folder took me tenth of minutes. Reading
> emails was not possible as kmail2 only told me that it's "loading
> content" (or a similar text).
> I've searched the Internet (and I read forum.kde.org for
> kmail2/akonadi bugs) but I couldn't find hints. They tell you to
> remove the "Local folder" akonadi source and add it again. I also
> guessed it might be a good idea to rebuild the components that use
> akonadi and so I rebuilt kdepim-runtime, kdepimlibs and
> kdepim-common-libs.
>
> The result is that I have at least *three* local mail folders that are
> *empty* which used to have hundreds of emails. Where are they?
> I've read much about akonadi and they say that akonadi doesn't move
> mails to its database/cache/whatever. Mails stay in the local folders.
> But why are they gone? I've looked in the filesystem, but I can't find
> them anywhere in ~/.local/share/{local-mail,.local-mail.directory} but
> I can see them in ~/.local/share/akonadi/file_db_data
>
> I now wonder how can I fix that?
> Is it possible to move files from the akonadi folder to the local-mail
> folder and how do I have to rename them?
>
> Thanks a lot for your assistance in advance!
> Please let me know if you need more info.
