To be fair my problems started after migrating a setup that had come along since early-KDE3 days and went through many pre-release versions of akonadi. Almost everyone I found with major problems was in the same boat while people who did fresh installs on SuSE and Fedora were fine. Observe that clkean new install is not a valid use-case for a gentoo user > Have I understood this correctly that Kmail2 will no longer store > messages in conventional maildir files and it will all be stored in > database tables? No, akonadi functions as a giant cache. The backing store for mail is still mbox, MailDir, IMAP or whatever and used as normal. Akonadi stores meta data about the mail (maildir index files are not in files for example, they are in Akonadi). Contacts and calendars are still on disk with a cached copy in Akonadi. Full text searches of mail bodies is stored in Nepomuk. -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
