I have 9 dimap (cached imap) accounts.

Since I have been testing kde-4.6 (almost two months ago) kdepim was updated 
and kontact/kmail would crash at start. When I test kdepim-4.6 the computer 
crawls with akonadi and mysql and no kmail.

The only workaround for me was to reconfigure every accounts to use 
thunderbird. Between thunderbird and kmail I prefer kmail but at least I could 
read my email.

Finally, two weeks ago, after seing the announce of a new kontact that 
supported akonadi from kde-4.6 I added these lines to kde.repo
exclude=kdepim
exclude=kdepim-*

downgraded kdepim and kdepim-libs and I have lived happy ever since (not 
necessarily but you get the idea).

So for me kdepim-4.6 simply does not work. :-(
