Unfortunately, it does not work here on my test x86 stable box.  I have 
removed and added each resource more than a dozen times.  POP3 seems to 
broadly work (but it creates duplicate messages which once deleted are 
recreated) and IMAP4 does not show any messages in the Inbox.  The 
kaddressbook does not show the addresses.

I've tried deleting akonadi databases, adding the resources or importing them  
and starting again many, many times to come to the conclusion that in my set 
up it just won't work.  I hope that code progress eventually restores 
functionality which I consider absolutely basic - i.e. to be able to read my 
messages and use my addresses.

Having wasted far too much time for no positive result I'm now in hope that 
trinity desktop will come up with a solution that I was sorry to see left 
behind - KDE 3.5.
