Description Anders Lund 2013-05-28 20:53:26 UTC
While other parts of KDE uses nepomuk in a useful way, with kmail address completion it is a huge drawback, for more reasons - here are some:

* It is unstable. Sometimes it works, sometimes not
* It is inconvenient that it does not kick in immediately
* It is slow

Reproducible: Always

modify config file kpimcompletionorder

add 
[General]
UseNepomuk=false

see:
      KConfig config( QLatin1String( "kpimcompletionorder" ) );
      const KConfigGroup group( &config, QLatin1String( "General" ) );
      useNepomukCompletion = group.readEntry( "UseNepomuk", true );
Comment 2 Anders Lund 2013-05-29 06:39:58 UTC
No such file. But I created it, turned nepomuk back on and restarted kmail. No 
completion apart from "recent addresses"  => usual bad experience :\ 

Now, after a reboot and a bit of waiting, I actually appear to have functional 
completion.

But why not make it the other way around - make it difficult to turn the 
madness *on* ? Afterall, the only argument I ever heard for using nepomuk for 
completion was that the other method have problems with massive addressbooks.

And, is it considered to try and fix the issue with akonadi loosing it all the 
time with webdav?

This does not always work. I have AGAIN no completion.
I can not know why, but it really sucks :(
Comment 4 Anders Lund 2013-06-14 10:28:26 UTC
Two times, I have had to restart akonadi to make this option work. So there is still room for improvement. If I can do anything to help figure out why, let me know!
