There's another way?? ;-)

One of the problems that I encountered with KDE is that akonadi is
broken by a later version of mysql. akonadi is a back-end data store
used by KDE4. I do wonder at the sanity of moving data into a
database simply because one can.

I lost about 1000 archived emails representing part of family
correspondence over 5 years because of an akonadi glitch that led to
the quiet deletion of the emails from my IMAP server to "synchronise
stores".

I'm eagerly awaiting to see how KLyDE evolves.
