Goodbye for now, kmail

Today I finally elected to install thunderbird, and remove my mail 
accounts from akonadi. In the current state, kmail is simply not usable 
with my IMAP account, it sends unreasonable amounts of time updating, 
and chokes in the process. I had to restart it all the time, and most 
often, that would not even work, I can't get to read my mail using kmail 
any longer.

I will be watching for an akonadi-free version of kmail to emerge, I 
hope that will happen, since akonadi + mail never got to work well.

A sad day for me, having used kmail most of the last 20 years, wiht a 
short refuge to thunderbird during the transition to akonadi. Well, that 
never really took of. :'(

Anyone else with similar experiences, or is it simply the iMAP server 
used by my webhotel that does not work with akonadi?

I will continue to use other parts of the kdepim suite for now, mainly 
korganizer, in my experience bothe calendars and contacts works fine 
with akonadi.

kindly,
Anders
