Having to install some parts of Plasma does not mean you have to use it as |
| 2 |
your desktop. |

I don't use the full plasma desktop, but use KDEPIM and some other KDE apps |
| 12 |
with all their unavoidable dependencies. It is usable for me, on two machines |
| 13 |
where akonadi is running on MySQL and on my laptop with PostgreSQL. |

I use enlightenment as my day to day DE and Fluxbox as a fall back. |

You need some CPU horsepower and patience to let akonadi index all messages in |
| 24 |
the database. If your PC is resource constrained it'll have trouble managing |
| 25 |
large mail boxes. I remember a Pentium Duo with 4G RAM taking overnight to |
| 26 |
update my mailboxes, which in their totality contained more than 125,000 |
| 27 |
messages. |

When I repeated the exercise with fewer messages (less than 5,000) the |
| 30 |
response was much more reasonable. it took a few minutes, rather than hours. |
