[kdepim-users] rant

[E. Hakan Duran]

I switched from online IMAP to offline mode last night, because even after 
upgrading the akonadi server I didn't observe a great improvement in the 
performance. Before making that switch in Kmail settings, I checked the 
~/.local/share/akonadi/file_db_data folder properties. It was around 900 MB. 
Then I turned on the offline mode for 3 IMAP accounts. Two of them are gmail 
accounts; gmail reports 0.67 GB usage for one of them (this account actually) 
and 7.14 GB for the other one. The third IMAP account is my work/corporate 
account, which is limited by a 1GB quota, and I believe I must be using about 
half of it at the moment. After several hours of network activity by akonadi, 
the current and stable size of the ~/.local/share/akonadi/file_db_data folder 
now is 50.6 GB!

0.67 GB + 0.5 GB + 7.14 GB = 50.6 GB

How can this make any sense?

I always criticized Windows for using a lot of HDD space, encumbering its own 
performance. It is sad that I observe the same thing in KDEPIM now. This 
should not be the cost of customizabililty in my humble opinion.

I am sorry for this last bit of ranting here.
