Well I calmed down again.

If I go without CRM114 filter rules and delete the spam mails that policyd-
weight on the server lets through manually my mails are safe. Have been so for 
months.

But I am using this work around for months already and would just like to have 
back what worked so well with KMail 1 for years after years. And now it worked 
in the one POP3 resource test setup, but is still botched on my several POP3 
resources production setup which works okay without CRM114 spam filter rules.

And I can´t even test with another user, since Akonadi stores absolute pathes 
to the database and I cannot move the setup around:

[Bug 325699] Akonadi stores absolute path to maildir resource maildir in 
database, making it difficult to create a test setup
http://bugs.kde.org/325699


See, I do not try to find the bugs. I just try to use the software.

And the bugs find me. Massively.


Added to that are still 5-10 other glitches that have been there since I 
migrated. And which I also reported. Most of them are confirmed by other users. 
I am working around those by various means for months.

Like mails not displayed in folder after moves, or sometimes mail cannot be 
moved and reappears in original folder… all real issues also experienced by 
others.


Thats frustrating.

Its been that way for months.

It somehow works, but still has severe issues.


Well I continue for now without CRM114 filter rules and manually select all 
Ctrl-J filtering after I cleaned out the spam mails manually. Fortunately 
policyd-weight catches most of them.


BTW I am using Icedove now at work, after Akonadi loaded our perdition proxy 
server with so many aborted connections that it filled the server harddisk with 
log messages. I decided that I am not going to play betatester there as well 
and put parts of our infrastructure at risk. But I also reported this one.

Thanks,
