Be aware that the developers seem to recommend the sqlite backend 
<https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-pim/2023-April/049426.html> nowadays. 
Switching to a new database (like SQLite) is not the nicest transition, 
though: 
https://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi/en#How_do_I_switch_from_MySQL/PostgreSQL_to_SQLite?

I've been using SQLite for multiple years now and it performed better than 
the MySQL backend when I started. Akonadi still is not good enough though, 
as it has too many remaining syncing issues. Because of that, I have an 
akonadiconsole open, e.g., to deal with (delete) entries missing a remote 
id. akonadiconsole can also be used to delete Akonadi's cache and doing 
some may sometimes fix synchronization issues. I do not use POP3 (I swear 
by IMAP if I can get it, as I find it to be the least bad option), so I do 
not know what the backend for it looks like and what (dangerous) impact 
deleting Akonadi's cache may have.


Success,
