@Eric, Thanks for the kind words. It nice to get such a message every now and then. Keeps up my motivation.

I’m surprised you are using 1.5 already. I never considered it anywhere near usable.

If you want to help me, I would love that. You can find me on irc, freenode channel #akonadi or you can send me your wishes via email or bugzilla. I’ll try to look at them asap. Some feedback would be nice so I know where to work on…

Thanks again.

Hi Toma, I’ve been using Mailody 1.5 f’rever and kept checking your commit log and seeing all the wonderful new things going in. You are not a “release early, often” type. I respect that. Occasional, polished releases lower support costs and improve user experience. However, I’d love to start helping with the testing. Are you planning on branching for the next KDE point release?

P.S. I like the UI updates, you seem to have a talent for UI design, KDE is lucky to have you!

@Luis, you need svn trunk to compile it currently.

I don’t seem to be able to compile mailody against 4.3.1. Is this a known problem or just me making a mess out of it?

I like ctrl-M – but I only use once I know all shotcuts well enought that I only scarcely need the menus :)

Btw: Using Dock-Widgets sounds great! That way *I* can decide how I want my program to look.

Many thanks for your work! You very nicely show the potential of Akonadi – and what it can bring, when it’s properly integrated everywhere. Sadly all my mail comes via Pop3 and I failed yet in setting up a local imap server…

“No, I think that’s a confusing feature ;-)”

What if you just disable the shortcut by default? It does no harm to anyone then.

No, I think that’s a confusing feature ;-) Mailody is not for old people ;-) In any case, if there is consensus for a solution KDE-wide, I’m happy to implement that in Mailody.

Does Mailody support Ctrl+M feature? Very important for old people who need clean and simple UI to use. KMail fails on this, it is meant only for young experienced users because menu can not be hided and old people sees it just as difficult UI and learning is much harder.
