[kdepim-users] Kmail and Akonadi

[John Aldrich]

It seems to me that Kmail isn't waiting for Akonadi to start up and so, if 
Akonadi isn't running already when you try to start Kmail on KMail 4.8.1 / KDE 
4.8.1, on Fedora 16, you'll get an error that Akonadi is not running. HOWEVER, 
if one were to go to a console window, type "akonadictl start" and wait for it 
to get done starting everything up, THEN start Kmail, it will start right up, 
and you can close that console window and everything will work fine.

I'm still having other issues, though. Things like my IMAP server not loading 
message bodies when I switch messages after several hours. Not sure what's 
going on there. Any ideas? I can switch to my local mail folders and read 
messages there, but it seems like the system doesn't recognize I'm changing 
messages on my IMAP server, even if I leave the IMAP folder, go to a local 
folder or a different IMAP account (I have two IMAP accounts) and then back to 
the primary IMAP account, I still can't change messages sometimes unless I 
close KMail, kill akonadi, RESTART Akonadi manually, then start KMail.

OTOH, at least I'm not losing my filters any more! All in all, though, I would 
rather lose my filters every time, and have a responsive system! *sigh* I REALY 
wish the developers would stop adding new features and settle the system down. 
I still don't understand why an email client NEEDS a database!
