I tried to give some quick overview in my other mail. My issue is that I want to be quite confident that any possible remaining data loss issue has been fixed. I did not yet test it myself, but I do read kdepim and kdepim- users mailing lists regularily in the last months to get an impression on the current state. Anyway, I suggest that you also subscribe to at least kdepim-users when you like to try out KDEPIM 2 right now. You may read there about some issues users who already use it seem to have. I think it does not make that much sense to replicate that information here. There are issues with mail search - not that it ever worked really nice with KDEPIM 1 IMHO -, auto completion, there are some performance issues with Akonadi Nepomuk feeding that I hope will be mostly resolved with KDEPIM 4.8.2 and some other usability stuff as far as I remember from my reading right now. Anyway once I am confident that any known mail loss issues have been fixed and no new one appeared for a while I really do like to use it and contribute with bug reports for any issue I still see then. KDE developers are working really hard to make the Akonadi based KDEPIM rocking and I really do appreciate it. I think in the short to middle term it will be better than KDEPIM 1. And in the long term it will leave it behind completely. As I do think the architecture to use a database like approach to PIM metadata is a good one. Its a bit like all the big changes in KDE SC 4.0. There it also took developers and testers also quite a while to make it production ready. I do think KDEPIM 2 is getting there now. About two major releases after introducing it to KDE SC again with KDE SC 4.6. KDE SC 4.2 also was also way better then KDE SC 4.0 and the first one I installed onto on my Debian systems. So I do think that I like to test it soon. Two or three major releases after initial release + some minor release added to the mix, lets say 4.8.2 or 4.9.1 should be quite good I bet ;). -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
