I think it is partly working (its work in progress) and you can configure, 
start and stop it in the system settings. The problem I had was when starting 
Kmail it threw up the MySQL errors, clicking on the error in the d/box told me 
what the problem was :-)

It certainly is good and have only run into one small problem so far this 
evening which is reported on kde.bugs #176349

I had to kill plasma and mv my plasma rc files out the way, but most likely 
due to some custom packages I had, which are now not needed.

One thing I can't seem to find is to change Kmail's message window background 
colour as it has now defaulted to white.

Cheers
