What I meant to say is that an application could still opt to access its ow=
n=20
data directly, e.g. in the case of Claws directly accessing its mails howev=
er=20
it stores them, but use Akonadi to access contacts, etc.

Basically a bit like KMail currently managing its mails but using KResource=
 to=20
access the addressbook.

Of course ideally all PIM data is accessed through Akonadi, so data doesn't=
=20
have to be migrated when users switch applications, but applications are=20
often very closely designed around their main data type storage method and=
=20
might find it easier to just do other data types via Akonadi as a first ste=
p.
