I don't know how many subscribers there are to this list and in any case do not feel comforted to hear that mine may be a corner case. I thought at one point that maybe I'd try removing and reinstalling akonadi. I saw a humongous list of apps that would be removed for dependencies. I'd presumably have to install them all again as well as akonadi. I didn't do it. But it pointed out to me the centrality of this software to a lot of K work. If it's so central this reinforces the case for solid testing. > > Anyway perhaps someone will find out what happened to the few is us "corner > cases" id due course. > > -- > View this message in context: > http://n3.nabble.com/KMail-Akonadi-mess-tp415121p420876.html > Sent from the Fedora Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > -- "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
