Oh well, I tried. Working on a Macbook in Apple OS X with PIM software ported
by Macports, I got as far as having KMail, Akonadi and MySql playing together,
after some difficulty. Then it asked for Nepomuk and "resource agents" (whatever
they are) so I gave up. I have had bad experiences with Nepo and friends before.
Within an hour or so - much less time than I had already spent - I had converted
my email folders into mbox format and imported them into Apple Mail. Not as
good an email reader as KMail, but them's the breaks. I tried ... but Kmail is
tightly bound to all those other things now ... :-(
All the best, Ian W.
