I'm running KDE4.6.3 stable and Kmail 1.12.7 for a couple of weeks now on=20 three machines and I have not noticed any problems. On two of them I use=20 sqlite3. I am not using Kontact/Calendar or other kdepim apps much - only= =20 when I want to look at a date - with no problems so far. If anything kde4.6 is more stable here than kde4.4! Are your akonadi logs clear of any errors? Your mysql logs? If you are using kdm (instead of startx) and mysql happens to fail at the=20 start you are probably none the wiser about it, because kdm has kicked in b= y=20 then and you are looking at a login screen. Something like this could scre= w=20 things up. Also, if you forget to run mysql_upgrade after you updated/upgraded mysql=20 things could break with it. If none of the above are the causes then it might be some esoteric setting = in=20 your config files that does not translate across to the latest versions - b= ut=20 that seems unlikely. I would have thought that it would be simply ignored,= =20 rather than screw up your email accounts/calendar. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart7618418.doxYLOiI8h Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk4ANlkACgkQVTDTR3kpaLZaLQCg2a8nYaVSFhi/5lhhzywOU2Ns oc0AniFx4jz8IxAvvkc51dZln93Kb4ol =0bfr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart7618418.doxYLOiI8h--
