Having to install some parts of Plasma does not mean you have to use it as your desktop.

I don't use the full plasma desktop, but use KDEPIM and some other KDE apps with all their unavoidable dependencies. It is usable for me, on two machines where akonadi is running on MySQL and on my laptop with PostgreSQL. I use enlightenment as my day to day DE and Fluxbox as a fall back. > As soon as my count of Mails grow over some thousands, akonadi > simply stops working, that means is no longer fetching or displaying > Mails... so yes, the desktop is cool and stable pim is not really since > some versions... You need some CPU horsepower and patience to let akonadi index all messages in the database. If your PC is resource constrained it'll have trouble managing large mail boxes. I remember a Pentium Duo with 4G RAM taking overnight to update my mailboxes, which in their totality contained more than 125,000 messages. When I repeated the exercise with fewer messages (less than 5,000) the response was much more reasonable. it took a few minutes, rather than hours. -- Regards, Mick
