The above is not compl
rections and are
beginning to conflate somewhat issues. I'm not pitching NNTP as a
replacement for this sort of scenario
In the original context of this sub-thread, that is access to discussion
groups like this one, NNTP has advantages. This is its ideal use case
alongside email. It is the fact that both email and NNTP are
standardised that appeals to users in this context, as well as the
cleanness and efficiency of these protocols compared to web browser
based access or other UIs or access methodologies.

Note also that the front end user experience is not necessarily directly
dependent on the transport protocol. For example, it is entirely
feasible for a front end that looks and works much like Tapatalk or like
the mobile web versions of popular web forums to communicate with its
back end via NNTP, or to communicate with different back ends using a
range of protocols (e.g. NNTP, email, REST, and so on).

Sometimes an e-mail comes in which can not be deleted. To deal with that, I
downloaded and use akonadiconsole. Once you get the hang of it (took me about
5 minutes) you can find and delete those e-mails easily.

The only other piece of advice I have is don't try to go straight to
stretch or buster from lenny -- instead upgrade one major release at a
time, as that path is better trodden and more likely to work, and any
issues you encounter are more likely to have been well-discussed in
places Google can find (including the archives of this list).
