kmail sigh

Back in kmail, after switching internet provider to something that should be 
supported.

It worked fine for a week or two, but today, things started to feel ugly. New 
mails does not show up, pressing the "check mail" button is, as it was since 
the unfortunate akonadi showed up, unbearably slow. As is just fetching a 
mail. Kmail/akonadi appears to do lots of other stuff, instead of fetching the 
mail I want to view.

Damned, because there is really no nice alternatives. 

When can we have akonadi-free kmail?
