Not in 4.3 by KDEPIM - porting is taking place for 4.4.
Slide 23 onwards in my Akademy presentation this year explains the status
quo - http://pim.kde.org/akonadi/slides/Akonadi-gcds-2009.pdf .
The Akonadi IMAP resource in 4.3 is not finished.
That's unrelated Nothing to do with akonadi, the Akonadi GroupWise
resource is only pre-alpha.
Are you using the native (no Akonadi at all) GW resource or using it via
the akonadi bridge (which loads the legacy KResource into an Akonadi
resource, then exposes the contacts in Akonadi via a KResource that talks
to Akonadi on the backend)?
The bridging technique was developed then rejected for widespread use
because it exposed many interdependencies between contact and calendar
resources and synchronous interactions between them, leading to
deadlocks. Using GW via a bridge will definitely not work.
The native GW resource may well be broken too at the moment, I just don't
have time to maintain it.

I've updated to the current KDE 4.3 version on my openSUSE 11.1 systemand
tried now to use akonadi - but I haven't figured out a single advantageof
it:
Akonadi is present in 4.3 but it is not production ready - the KDEPIM
apps can only use it via a 'bridging' mode. This is disabled by default.
* I've added the imap resource but where is it used? Is it used by
kmail at all?

* It seems imap reads only my INBOX and not my other subscribed folders
The Akonadi IMAP resource in 4.3 is not finished.
* I'm using groupwise for calendaring which worked fine previously butnow
my calendar in korganizer is completely empty (not that bad in some waybut
if you miss important meetings...)
That's unrelated Nothing to do with akonadi, the Akonadi GroupWise
resource is only pre-alpha.
* Also the contacts from groupwise do not show up in kmail.

So, I have now a mysql server running and some other processes - butsee so
far only regressions. Is there anybody that can help me to make realusage
of akonadi or should I remove kdepim4-runtime and get rid that way of
akonadi?
