Hello --

This is my first ever post to any KDE mailing list, so please excuse any n00bidity. \
:)

I'm in the process of planning an NNTP binary download robot for KDE 4.x, something \
along the lines of NewsLeecher or Newsman Pro  (which are Windows applications).  My \
plan is to use the existing RFC822 Mail resource and the NNTP agent (if it exists, \
otherwise write one),  and feed the NNTP headers into Akonadi, so that the headers \
can be indexed and searched. 

Question:  more than a few binary newsgroups have header counts reaching past \
hundreds of millions into billions.  Is Akonadi (or more  precisely its MySQL \
backend) capable of dealing with that many records, especially on consumer hardware? \
I'm assuming that the average  desktop has 4GB RAM and a single 500GB hard disk. 

Many thanks,
--
