I have been using Kmail2 for a couple of years now (ever since it became stable in portage) I had some issues over this time as well, but as I had already switched over to IMAP over 10 years ago, I never actually lost any emails and could easily fix this by deleting the local file-cache and database. Currently I run it on my laptop (quad-core, 16GB ram, SSD) succesfully. Here is how I set it up: 1) Run Postgresql 2) I run the DB "natively" (eg. do NOT let akonadi start an "embedded" db) 3) Configure mail accounts (including GMail) as IMAP 4) Configure mail accounts to keep a copy locally Apart from a lengthy synchronize period (I do have emails dating back to 1997 on the server) and occasionally a process going up to 100%, it doesn't prevent me from actually using the laptop for other things. As I take it along to customers as well, I am dependent on their WIFI systems. These are not the best, eg. I have experienced networking issues a lot. Not lost any messages and haven't had to restart the mail cache for a year now. (Since I switched away from embedded Mysql to "native" Postgresql) -- Joost
