I am yet to see any problem with KMail/akonadi/nepomuk on this fully updated F12/64bit/KDE. Everything works as expected, and my KMail experience has actually improved since KDE4.4 update came out. It starts faster, is more responsive, and font size choices are more eye-friendly. The fiasco you talk about seems to have hit only a couple of people. My guess is that this has to do something with your own (customized?) environment/system/mysql/whatever, and you have hit some untested corner- case... In general KMail in KDE4.4 apparently Just Works. This very e-mail is being written in KMail. ;-) Best, :-) Marko -- 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
