It does work separately, but I think it requires KDEPIM 2 (aka of KDE SC 4.6 or higher) to be usable. As far as I read it still doesn´t work in all cases upto KDE SC 4.8.3. Some fixes are done for KDE SC 4.9. That said I never tested it myself. That is just what I gathered from reading kdepim and kdepim-users mailing list. I already excluded my mail directory anyway, cause until when I need to search for me I use what the KMail 1 as of KDE SC 4.4.11 currently included in Debian has to offer. So I think the real question is: Do you currently use desktop search to find mail as files on harddisk? If not, I would exclude the mail directory. If you use it however for something you do not like the current search function in KMail 1 that has to scan the indexes and possibly mails during search, I recommend to keep the mail directory included until you got KDEPIM 2 packages and the search stuff in KMail 2 works to your satisfaction. Then I would keep the mail indexer disabled until you installed the first KDEPIM 2 version. Thats at least from what I understood so far. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
