Hm, I am a little bit astonished here. If the data in the mysql database is cache only data, then simply changing the configuration should do the trick. I would have two caches laying around, but thats it. True for the read cache, not so true for the write cache. What do I have to migrate then? For example there could be data that has not yet been written to its backend. That would be the case if Akonadi is shut down (e.g. due to logout) while one of the resources that had user changes was not online (e.g. could not connect to its server). There could also be meta data that a backend was not able to handle itself, e.g. read/unread status of emails from an mbox file. While discarding of meta data would be no more than an annoyance, discarding of uncommitted changes could be (an uncommitted deleted would be just an annoyance and uncommitted add not so much). So, if I want to switch from mysql to sqlite I have to - stop akonadi - wait a few seconds to let akonadi sync - switch to sqlite - start akonadi With imap and maildir all should be the same as before. Is there a backup thingy that creates pure sql statements to migrate the data? Regards Martin Cheers, Kevin ___ This message is from the kde mailing list.

Re: [kde] Why I (almost) stayed with KMail

Why is this thing so popular, even in business environments? It's a toy, not more. Na, thunderbird is more than a toy. The basic functions in TBird are limited, but that's what add-ons are for. These automatic filter stuff on folders (not as great as kmails) is hidden in an additional add-on called Folder Account. And that's the problem: IMO automatic filtering is vital for a decent email-client. What, if the add-on is not maintained anymore, or the update to a newer version of TB takes too long? Agreed, add-ons are for expanding functionality, but vital functions shouldn't be delegated to community-maintained add-ons. I second that. But mileage may vary. There are many people out there who do not even know what automatic filtering is (they don't even use folders besides the default one). Another example: I use different identities with different language settings (this on is English others are German), but thunderbird is not able to handle different languages for different identities. Obviously this function is not used that much (I don't even know a add-on for this). Martin Just my 2 cents. Joerg ___ This message is from the kde mailing list.

I joined a forum at Cadsoft, for eagle, their pcb design tool. It copies all forum posts to your subscription address, so I thought it would be nice to make an 'eagle' folder, to reside in the sorted list of folders I now have about 40 of. To save these messages in case I might be able to contribute, and make use of kmail's expiry rules was the main reason, they are 'no reply' messages, containing an html link to that forum thread. AFAIAC, they can be expired in a couple days. But kmail has now decided any new folders MUST be a subfolder of an existing selection again, as when I click on Local Folders, the folder creation stuff is grayed out, disabled. In both the file pulldown and the folders pulldown. Since I have the same version of KMail (on Debian though), I tried to reproduce. Indeed, if Local Folders is selected, the option for creating a new folder in the Folders menu is disabled. However, the respective option in the context menu (AKA right click menu) on Local Folders is enabled and successfully created a top level folder. Cheers, Kevin Error opening /home/gene/Mail/.inbox.directory/eagle; this folder is missing. That one I had nuked previously, with kmail. Next? Does the folder exist? Does it have cur/ new/ and tmp/ sub directories? Anyway, did using the context menu work for you as it did for me? Cheers, Kevin Yes, it created it, in the .inbox folder both times I tried as I tried to create a ../eagle folder the second time, both times it reported a failure, but it was there when the failure msg was click to clear it, but when kmail then did the rescan, it was there in the .inbox/eagle as shown in the folder list, so I nuked it both times, and now, everytime I hit the bottom of the list an it restarts at the top, I have about 5 or 6 error messages, can't find the eagle folder I have to clear before it will actually go show me the next message in the inbox. This is rapidly turning into a PIMA. I would switch to claws but the last time I looked, it did not have an import from kmail function. And my kmail corpus goes back to early 2002, nearly 10 years. That is several gigs worth of messages I do NOT want to leave behind. And again: Why don't you set up a local imap server (dovecot) and put all mails into it? After you did this once you can use what ever mailclient you want without the need to move mails again and again. Martin Thanks for any more guidance folks.

Re: [kde] KDE 4.7 System Requirements

Moreover, how much diskspace will KDE take? I had it running with a similar hardware - 1.8 GHz Celeron - onboard AMD x200 Graphic - 512MB Ram (but later 1GB ram) It was incredible slow (compared to my core i3) but it was usable. I think the core problem may be ram. IF you can increase the ram up to 1GB it will be much better. More than a year ago my main computer was a P4 2.4Ghz wit 2GB of ram and it was quite good.

[kde] Re: favicons in Konqueror

My .kde folder is basically 10 years old. =:^) Mine too, tho I've gone thru and cleaned it up from time to time. Yes, the fresh-user thing's a very good idea to try. With a fresh user I got different problems. Seems to be very broken the favicon stuff in konqui. Meanwhile, that you can see the favicons reappear in the cache when you visit the page again, but konqueror fails to display them, sounds to me like it might be one of two things, either something related to the recent image-cache (graphics not browser related) issues in early kde-4.5 that were at least partially fixed in 4.5.3 and 4.5.4, or some other sort of race condition, where konqueror tries to display the icon before it's actually there, and then doesn't try again after it's in the cache. I'd try the fresh user thing, and then check bugzilla for related bugs, too. There is a bug there (153049) and it pretty describes my problems with favicons. If a favicon is not in the bookmark list it shows up fine, otherwise sometimes it shows, sometimes not. In the bookmarklist favicons are visible sometimes only if the mouse is over the icon, sometimes it is only visible if the mouse is not above the icon. As I said, I'm running 4.5.4 here too, on Gentoo, and haven't noticed the issue, so it doesn't appear to be hitting everyone. Hopefully it's something in your local user config and you can resolve it there. As long as you don't delete icons from your favicon cache you will not notice it.
