Goodbye for now, kmail

[Vishnu V. Krishnan]

In-spite of the occasional breakages, I continue to use Kontact apps, because
I don't think there is anything else as feature-full, that also affords the
user that degree of control.

Can someone explain (or point to a discussion on) how exactly these two
approaches are different, and their pros and cons?

On a slightly unrelated note, a pet peeve of mine results from Akonadi's use
of mariadb, which happens to be one of the few reasons I'm unable to rid my
machine of systemd. Is Akonadi joined to mariadb at the hip? Or is it a
replaceable component?
