Hello! A minute ago: I am editing a journal entry in Kontact while KMail meant it might have been a good idea to move 6200 mails of debian-user-german to an archival mbox - blocking my typing for about a minute completely. And right while I was typing the previous sentence it continued this game with 13100 mails from debian-devel-changes blocking my input for several minutes.
This issue is there since introduction of this function. Its also there with slow mail filters, fortunately crm114 is really fast, and other operation which take a long time like for example searches. KMail is completely blocked or almost completely blocked during these. KMail with Akonadi and Nepomuk has the potential to handle such longer operation in background. There might have been other ways to achieve it, but this way, other applications may access mail data as well without blocking each other and there is a clean separation between mail storage and mail presentation / handling. It all depends on how bug free / stable / fast the implementation will be, but I really want to give it a chance. I am mail power user with *insane* amounts of mail and folders and I want an infrastructure which handles it. Zimbra which uses MySQL and a Lucene search index does so quite well for me work related mail, why shouldn't KMail 2 with Akonadi and Nepomuk be able to achieve that too? There might come the day where I will throw swear words at KMail 2, Akonadi and PIM as I did already with KAdressBook and Akonadi, but when in the end it I get that infrastructure I want then it might still just worth it. Hopefully there will be a comfortable enough way to test out KMail 2 once its ready for user testing.
