KDE's Kube Mail/PIM Client Does Its First Tech Preview Release

[Alejandro Nova]

Akonadi was destined to be one of the three pillars to KDE. In the end it was one of three pillows to KDE. The root cause is lack of quality. Anything related to KDE-PIM is pre-production. After 10 years it doesnt work, got crashers and had no code audit for security problems. It is a mess. Do the world a favor and drop it.

This is exactly what Sink is for. It's going to replace Akonadi.

BTW, after switching Akonadi's backend from MySQL to PostgreSQL, performance has improved quite a bit.

There is no calendar in Thunderbird without the lightning extension.

Right. But since https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunde.../releasenotes/
Lightning is integrated / shipped and enabled by default with thunderbird, be it an extension or not.
