[opensuse-kde] Current state of IMAP aware desktop search/integration in KDE4
Hi everyone, any pointer anybody to what the current state of affairs is related to IMAP aware indexing/desktop integration? When it comes to so called enterprise features, these things are badly missing: IMAP indexing and desktop integration. Nearly every sane enterprise setup uses IMAP for company mails, but last time I looked, everybody was talking about semantic search capabilities, ignoring the fact, that it's much more important to be able to do a simple search for a certain correspondent or keyword, might it contained an {Libre,Open}Office document or some mail, or even some doc attachment of that mail. Any progress in this area? The next thing, that is missing is being able to drag mails into the filesystem (creating _links_ to the IMAP store), in order to organize certain correspondence in a simple and logic way. Do we really need to copy stuff around, and even be forced to invent some filename, loosing all the context similar to what the unspeakable Outlook does? While all this might be seen purely as commercial usage patterns, this would be useful for many scenarios, when IMAP is part of the game.

Have you heard about this Akonadi thing the KDEPIMsters are working on and the porting of all the PIM apps to this framework? Which among other things means that in the immediate future (=KDE SC 4.6) you'll prolly have even more fundamental things to worry about. But also means that your e-mail should become searchable via nepomuk in the near future, but I wouldn't count on it to be 100% smooth and reliable in 4.6.0 if I were you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

And if it doesn't shake out I'll ship kdepim4[-runtime] 4.4.x in 11.4 (again). FWIW I think IMAP tags are a better solution than links in a single machine's filesystem.
