Hi,

My apologies for not being able to help with porting KMail and KDEPIM 
to Qt 4 yet. I still intend to help with that, though there are a 
number of issues with KDE 3.5 that I'm looking into, as I can find 
the time. Also I'm under a very tight schedule at TT with my 
messaging software for smartphone work.

I'm wondering how Akonadi fits in with the Qt 4 porting. Are Akondai 
folk and KDEPIMsters intending on getting Kontact/KDEPIM working with 
Qt 4 and KDE 4 and then porting to Akondai after that, or is the 
intent to go straight to porting to Akondai?

Don Sanders.
