I can't really count how many times i simply deleted all the .config/akonadi and .local/akonadi stuff - and let akonadi regenerate it, simply because i deeply believed in the whole crap getting better! It never got better... Currently i can live with all that stuff, simply by disabling all nepomuk- and akonadi-stuff and waiting for it to show all my mails again... Funny: My wife has a second account with exactly the same settings and is deeply annoyed by the permanent popups telling her that the balloo-indexer has closed... Indeed she has disabled it!!! So i have to kill that shit every time! Most annoying story in the last time: KdePIM 4.10 simply stopped working with my private Courier-IMAP-Server, telling everyone, that courier has a bug... Ok, maybe, but it worked since every Version and just stopped because one ore more developers simply decided to do things "right"!!! No Problem in Gentoo, simply mask and downgrade kdepim-meta... I had more problems at work with Kubuntu! With KDE4.10.1 everything works as expected... But this is just a gnome-like-behavior... The developers simply don't really care what the users want or need... i really never heard of anybody saying: Oh that search stuff is cool! I use it regularily! And to go deeper: Why don't they store documents in a database, that is better optimized for documents... MongoDB? CouchDB? Instead they use this shitty mixture of MySQL and Virtuoso!?
