Re: Akonadi cron job? (was: Akonadi dsaster)

I have to restart akonadi server too often, usually at least once or twice a 
day.  It is a bit of a bother, I have used kmail for years.  I now use kmail 
4.14.1 on debian jessie. I can put up with a little bother as it is a very 
good program otherwise.
