To be fair my problems started after migrating a setup that had come |
| 13 |
along since early-KDE3 days and went through many pre-release versions |
| 14 |
of akonadi. Almost everyone I found with major problems was in the same |
| 15 |
boat while people who did fresh installs on SuSE and Fedora were fine. |

Observe that clkean new install is not a valid use-case for a gentoo |

No, akonadi functions as a giant cache. The backing store for mail is |
| 24 |
still mbox, MailDir, IMAP or whatever and used as normal. Akonadi |
| 25 |
stores meta data about the mail (maildir index files are not in files |
| 26 |
for example, they are in Akonadi). Contacts and calendars are still on |
| 27 |
disk with a cached copy in Akonadi. |

Full text searches of mail bodies is stored in Nepomuk. |
