Hi! I am back to KDEPIM 1 aka 4.4.11 and KDE SC 4.8.4 from Sid.
Reason? Data losses. [Akonadi] [Bug 318227] New: Data loss on restarting Akonadi to get it responsive again https://bugs.kde.org/318227 [Akonadi] [Bug 318290] New: Empty mails: AkonadiAgentServer(4890)/libakonadi Akonadi::ResourceBase::itemRetrieved: Item does not provide part "HEAD"/"RFC822" https://bugs.kde.org/318290 And finally the thing were I had enough of it: [Akonadi] [Bug 318444] New: data loss in maildir resource: Mails that were accessible disappeared and are not visible in maildir directory anymore https://bugs.kde.org/318444 KMail 2 / Akonadi lost mails from debian-kde mail folder while I was *reading* it. I never saw something like this with any mail application I ever used. I had this running on BTRFS, and due to a BTRFS problem with scrubbing I cannot fully prove that my BTRFS /home filesystem is correct. But I do think that it is no issue with BTRFS since the rsync based backup worked nicely. But the scrubbing does not complete right now and gives a kernel backtrace. Sorry, but I think my first head up were premature. Here is how I went back: 1) I had some discussion with Debian´s package management that I do not really remember in full. It basically went down to: dpkg --force-depends --purge $( dpkg -l | grep 4.10.2 | awk '{print $2;}' ) before trying to install old KDE SC and KDEPIM again. 2) Restore maildir from backup: merkaba:/mnt/home-zeit> rsync -a -AHXS -P --del martin-Mail-2013-04-11/ /home/martin/Mail/ 3) Restore exact matching kmailrc from backup: martin@merkaba:~/Backup/KDEPIM-1/Konfigurationsdateien> cp -p kmailrc ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc I didn´t do this initially, since I thought KMail 2 uses a new config file kmail2rc and the old one would remain unaltered. Well was altered and KMail 1 tried to check all of its index files and it took ages. 4) Then I had KMail download about 60 MB and 6000 mails from last 5 days from my Dovecot POP3 server. This worked cause I configured KMail2 / Akonadi to keep mails on server for 7 days. Only thing that doesn´t work right now is my CRM114 spam filter integration. Whyever. I did not try what happens with IMAP accounts, but at least with POP3 I am quite sure that I had data losses. So be careful. I would have kept testing KDEPIM 2 despite the other about 10 bugs I reported which were are about performance issues - on an ThinkPad T520 with Intel Sandybridge i5 with 2,5GHz and 8 GB of RAM and 300 GB Intel SSD 320! - and some other oddities, but these repeated mail data loss were unacceptable for me.
