I have finally finished my upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 too.

No problem with Ubuntu at the moment, but I want to make a big thanks to 
Kmail2, Akonadi and Nepomuk.

This was the worst computing nightmare I have ever seen for a long time.

These three... entities ate all my memory, filled all my swap, took 100% 
of my two cores, all that during hours, until being finally killed by 
the kernel. I tried again three times, by starting for a fresh void 
configuration and trying to convert my old mails, but no way... :-(

Being unable to read my mails, I finally decided to switch to 
Thunderbird. Thanks to the 'xfmail2mbox.sh' script, I could convert the 
maildir format to the mbox format used by Thunderbird.

So, now,the main philosophical question about all main Linux desktops is:

W...

T..

F...

!!!!!!

Should we invent some conspiration theory?

Did Microsoft paid some KDE and Gnome developers to create such a 
bloated useless piece of garbage?

Hopefully, I will have a better mood after a good night.

If some other KDE users want some advices to drop KMail and use 
Thunderbird, just ask!
