thanks for the detailed explanation. Regarding "what does it buy you": I was basically asking because akonadictl fsck reported many (unfix-able) warnings for a KDE environment I was using for many years (and it was upgraded several times). Unfortunately I cannot provide the exact warning text as I don't use this box anymore. Kind regards, Frank PS: I really wonder why some of my E-mails don't reach the list.
