Sorry for hijacking this thread, but this may be a good time / set of people
to ask"
I currently use kmail 1.13.7 on kde 4.8.4 (on Debian Wheezy) as my daily
(email) driver. I have Nepomuk (or whatever it uses shut off.)
I have something like 500k old emails in folders and probably see (or not see
;-) 300 to 1000 emails per day.
I'm a little afraid to move off kmail 1.13.7 for a variety of reasons, but
among them the problems I hear related to akonadi and, presumably, the
associated problems with handling fairly large quantities of emails.
So, my question is this -- if I'd upgrade to Buster and try to use the kmail
version there (5.9.3), how likely am I to have problems?
Nothing new below this line.
