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 .
So, should we discourage kdepim4-runtime ? Or add an extra box to "enable akonadi" for those that want it - right now it gets automatically enabled once you install kdepim4-runtime.
* 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)?
I used the way Akonadi set it up - I guess that's the bridge.
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.
The native GW resource works for me on KDE 4.3 with openSUSE 11.1, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
