I've updated to the current KDE 4.3 version on my openSUSE 11.1 system and tried now to use akonadi - but I haven't figured out a single advantage of 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?
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 .
* 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 but now my calendar in korganizer is completely empty (not that bad in some way but 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.
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. Will
So, I have now a mysql server running and some other processes - but see so far only regressions. Is there anybody that can help me to make real usage of akonadi or should I remove kdepim4-runtime and get rid that way of akonadi?
