[kdepim-users] KDE-PIM and Akonadi

[Thomas Mohr]

Dear Sirs,

yesterday I had the bad luck that my Laptop crashed to the point I had to 
reinstall Opensuse. This was a matter of Minutes. However, today I discovered 
that the Laptop became unresponsive after a few minutes. The culprit was - 
like many times before - akonadi. After hours I spent not doing cancer 
research, but hunting down a possible solution to the phenomenon I ended up 
with

a) Reinstalling the MySQL Database.
b) Reinstalling the Akonadi from Scratch, including ALL ressources.
c) Hunting down leftover files in some configuration dircories
etc, etc. 

This is not the first time this happens and it costs a lot of money. € 70 per 
hour I am not doing something productive.

It can not be that the simple task of reading e-mails on a Laptop and managing 
contacts and an agenda results in having to run a Mysql Database and a 
specialized server (all eats up ressources) which requires a lot of indepth 
knowledge in case something goes wrong.

This is by no means fit for production purposes.

Please, please, Please reintroduce the nice feature where kmail, kaddressbook 
etc read a simple file and contacted a simple IMAP and POP3 server directly 
without having to hassle with Databases, Servers running on laptops and what 
not.

thanks !

Thomas Mohr
