I'm sorry, but from a user point of view there is no difference. When I
can't read my mail in kmail, kmail gets the blame. For me, the
situation is that I really want to use kmail, because it is such a
wonderful mail client - but I can't, due to akonadi. It would be nice
to see a solution to that.

Btw, akonadi developers hopefully also reads this mailinglist, afterall
akonadi is part of kdepim.

How can we get started finding a solution?

Kindly,
