This should be it: https://release.debian.org/jessie/freeze_policy.html It doesn't predict when Jessie will be released, but I get the impression that it won't be much longer. > > > For me beside KDEPIM KDE / Plasma 4.14.2 really works quite good. > > > KDEPIM basically works, but there are still a lot of open issues. > > > > Exactly... > > Well, that may not change *that much* with a newer version. 4.14.5 has > some bugs fixed, but I compiled kdepim-runtime and kdepimlibs 4.14.5 on top > of KDEPIM 4.14.2 as packages by debian and I still have most of the > issues. What do you mean by "compile on top of"? What sources are you using?

This means that parts of the KDE SC will use Plasma 5 / Qt 5, whereas other parts (KDEPIM) still use Plasma 4 / Qt4 ? Will that work? It sure wouldn't make sense to run Akonadi4 and Akonadi5 simultaneously.. ?

Not excellent, but okay. I use the mail server of my web hoster, and download the mail to my desktop system, using POP3 - no need for IMAP.
