Beware of KDEPIM 4.4.93 in kde-unstable

[moabi2000]

The update went fine for me (thanks Rex - I'd been trying and failing
to build it myself) with a simple pop+maildir configuration.

Be warned however, that the new kmail will consume A LOT of disk space
and you won't be able to see the message bodies if you run out of disk
space. There is no warning of this. I filed a bug for this -
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249987 - and I would suggest that
this be regarded as a blocker for inclusion in Fedora.

I presume this disk use is due to indexing? Seems a bit excessive
though - the migration used up 3.5Gb for a 15Gb set of maildirs.

Also beware that the migration will hog your system for quite a while
as it indexes everything - took an hour or so of 9.95 system load on
my system (2.5Ghz dual core with ssd), so likely be very painful on an
older system.

Apart from that all works fine.

cheers
M.
