Why does KMail not have a database backend?
1. KMail was created as a simple mail client. No simple mail client I
know of has a database backend.
2. Most people don't want to setup a database just to be able to use an
email program.
What can be done to change this?
Nothing much. There is currently no KMail developer who has the time to
create a database backend for KMail. Of course we welcome anyone who
wants to work on this.
And BTW, for accessing local mail folders in Konqueror a rdbms framework
is completely unnecessary. Instead KMail could be split into a daemon
and a GUI frontend. The local folders could then be accessed by
Konqueror through the daemon.

Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding. Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2. |
