We migrated one person in the house from Thunderbird to Kontact after they started using Kolab (mostly for the shared calendaring; coordination ftw!) and despite having tried and dropped Kontact twice in the past they are now a very happy user. Old emails were imported accurately, new accounts set up smoothly, multiple IMAP accounts (and a local maildir one for good measure) and integrated calendaring, TODOs and contacts .. what more could one want? ;)" Link: <a href="http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2014/03/making-friends-with-kontact-again.html">http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2014/03/making-friends-with-kontact-again.html</a> (2) If a lightweight, "just get my email and shut-up" email client is all you need, and you want away from Thunderbird, perhaps <a href="http://trojita.flaska.net/">http://trojita.flaska.net/</a> is for you? - James On Sat, Mar 29, 2014 at 1:32 PM, Bruce Marshall <<a href="mailto:bmarsh@bmarsh.com">bmarsh@bmarsh.com</a>> wrote: On 03/29/2014 11:59 AM, Steve Riley wrote: <pre style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:84px; margin-right:80px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">I don't view Akonadi as lazy or sloppy. It (and Nepomuk, too) works very well on my machine. I have not looked at the source code, so I can't say for certain that the code either optimized or unoptimized. Perhaps the code is really bad, and abundant resources hide this. Or perhaps the code is already optimized, and 2 GB is simply not enough RAM. </pre> My complaint with akonadi is not due to resources... at least not the primary complaint. My point is that akonadi (and nepomuk) add a great deal of complexity to Kmail (for example) which is really not needed and doesn't often work well. And doesn't even work to the specs they say it should... (as evidenced by akonadi still sucking up my emails for Kmail even after I had shut Kmail down for the last time) <pre style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:44px; margin-right:40px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">-- </pre> <pre style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:44px; margin-right:40px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">"Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time."
