I would agree entirely. I use KMail2 daily, but I would not expect most
people to deal with it. I have to restart KMail quite regularly just to get
the "unread mail" count to change, a bug that has existed for several months.
It's noticably slower than any other email client I've used recently,
including KMail1. Virtuoso hammers my HDD for the first 5-10 minutes after I
log in, and Akonadi seems to have something to do with this. And occasionally
I have to restart Akonadi to get it to behave. And this is for no obvious
gain as an end user.
KMail2 is absolutely not of release quality, and I honestly can't see that
changing in the next month. I would love to help, and I do try here and
there, but I don't have the time to both learn the large code base (between
KMail, Akonadi and the various seperated components) and do serious bug fixing.
And I think the problem is that this is the situation everyone else who would
be interested in helping is in, as well.
