To be honest, i can't fully remember but i don't think i lost the "read/unread" \
status  (i don't use the other statuses).  I'm still investigating it so i'm using it \
on an unimportant login (i.e. mailing lists) so it didn't matter to me if it did.  \
But in the past when using the migration failure procedure on the mysql version, i \
did lose "read/unread" status but i think that got fixed. I did try the conversion on \
a login where i use kontact rather than just kmail and I didn;t get my calendar or \
contacts transferred but maybe there is something else i have to do for that.  I did \
rename db_data and db_misc in the akonadi before i converted to postgres (maybe I \
should have renamed on level up i,e, akonadi folder - i'll try that next) - once i \
finished trying postgres with kontact I then renamed those two files back and updated \
the config file, the mysql data was back in place with no lost statuses.   If you \
really want to try it make sure you back up.
