SUMMARY

Most of the time we don't need Akonadi's stuff running and eating in many cases almost 1 GB of our RAM. Many of us have "migrated" many PIM tasks from the PC to the mobile and the web. Korganizer's reminders don't have as much sense as some years ago since we usually pay more attention to our phone's notifications and alarms than to our computer's.

Akonadi is started with Plasma to check if we have new mail, calendar alarms, etc, and whenever we launch an app which needs it if we have stopped it before. That's ok, but when we have already checked all that stuff and close Kontact/Kmail/Korganizer/etc and want to start working without distractions, could Akonadi "autoturn off" after x minutes of PIM inactivity? Something like an automatic "akonadictl stop" that runs after that user configured lapse after he has closed the PIM related apps (I wouldn't include the panel's calendar since it's annoying to have to remove/add it from the panel/dock every now and then. I'd let it there like when you stop Akonadi by hand).
This should be user configurable, of course: maybe one wants to turn it off almost inmediately, maybe others don't want to turn it off at all.
