While I had hoped for KDEPIM 18.12, I certainly accept and understand your decision. I probably will test whether I can get Akonadi EWS with Office 365 – not my choice, mind you – to work for me with that version. So far I was not able to, but by triaging upstream reports I did not yet find one that applies to my situation. So maybe it is still a configuration issue on my side. Evolution with EWS just works fine, including calendar. Aside from that since KDEPIM/Akonadi 18.08 I see stalls when downloading POP3 messages from my private Dovecot server. Often Akonadi/KMail just sits there, according to atop apparently doing nothing, for up to a minute, before continuing as if nothing has happened. That behavior has been so erratic, that I did not yet invest more time to actually find out what is going on here. Sometimes it works normally and sometimes I see those stalls. I was disappointed cause I expected the work of Daniel¹ to improve performance of KDEPIM/Akonadi quite a bit and did not have those delays with earlier KDEPIM/Akonadi. According to akonadictl fsck there are quite some issues with my setup… and I wonder whether to recreate it once again as akonadictl fsck does not seem to fix any of those. However… that would be something for upstream mailing list kdepim-users (where I raised this issue quite some time ago). I know both upstream development and packaging it can use more hands. So I mean no offense to anybody with that. [1] https://www.dvratil.cz/2018/04/my-kde-pim-update/ Thanks, -- Martin
