Re: let's hope

I absolutely agree. Most people today do not even know about HTML etc. They don't need to. HTML should be default, with pure text optional for those who like it. Today every mail client can cope with HTML mails and the formatting info does not matter for today's bandwidth (not even mentioning spam!).

In addition, some nice things from Outlook should be integrated, e.g. a right mouse click option of "Find related emails" (simple but useful).

The most important thing of AKonadi will be non-blocking spam checking. This is what makes kmail a pain in the ass to use. I have been waiting for this for more than five years!

Yes, I agree that non blocking operations (getting data from the server, filtering, whatever else you want to do with it) is key. I am the original reporter of KDE's most hated bug back in 2002(!): http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41514

Pledging money to get it solved did not work, but I hope Akonadi will finally kill this bug.

"The most important thing of AKonadi will be non-blocking spam checking. This is what makes kmail a pain in the ass to use."

That the worst thing about Kmail, something that make me want to hate this programme sometimes. I just hope that this problem will be solved soon. Kmail has the potential of becoming a great e-mail client but there are still a few things to be ironed out before it gets there.
