+ "recently a bad regression was spotted in Akonadi, which causes all mails to be 
+ repeatedly downloaded and if you have a lot of mails, this can overload 
+ everything and cause further issues down the road.
+ 
+ The fix will be in 19.04 RC onwards, but also the 18.12 branch is affected. 
+ Since there will be no more 18.12 releases, if you need to keep that version 
+ in your repositories you may want to apply the following patches:

+ - https://commits.kde.org/akonadi/53ad3b6d73d92ea289cf0183c10e2b8a35c8127a
+ 
+ Note that since the change touches an inlined method, you will need to rebuild 
+ all PIM (or at least, everything that uses that code)."

  From IRC:
  
  [10:28] <einar77_work> it fixes quite a bad regression (note, it is inlined code, so everything using it must be rebuilt)
  [10:33] <einar77_work> acheronuk: major regression, will force mail to be redownloaded all the time every mail check
  [10:33] <einar77_work> this in turn may hog the akonadi server, leading to deadlocks and other issues
  
  Backport is from 19.04 branch, and fix is referenced in:
  https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/release-team/2019-April/011299.html

- So a PIM stack rebuild will be required here as well.
