Mmmm. I currently have (thanks to Akonadi, I think) mail in three different 
folder hierarchies. I think I will have to move them all to the same place 
first and then do a total index rebuild... which is going to lose read/unread 
status but suppose there is no other way.

Have been reluctant to switch to Postgres because their upgrade process is not 
as seamless as MySql, and have way more experience with MySql than Postgres, 
but if it means less annoyances going forward, then so be it.

Just find it weird that database choice could have this effect ... I use MySql 
for assorted problems and it doesn't lose things like Akonadi does ...

Cheers, Ian
