Ok, that is fair, I stand corrected then. :-) > Unless you have a specific reason to use sqlite, I'd recommend you use > akonadi-mysql. The question was that I had previous accounts that had problems. As an example I had an account where kmail showed more than 3000 unread messages when I new that was not true. I decided to erase the previous accounts and configurations to start a new process. I stopped akonadi and I removed the files in ~/.local and ~/.config: $ \rm -rf ~/.local/share/akonadi ~/.config/akonadi* $ rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/akonadi_* that was how I got with sqlite backend. It was not a deliberate decision from me. This was before Fedora 24 alpha. Last Friday after reading your message I repeated the procedure this time I got after restarting akonadi I got the mysql backend. I configured two imap accounts and now I did not had any problems, the folders were updated quickly. There is a catch, now every time that akonadi is running I get in the shell (it does not matter what I run): $ htop -bash: fork: retry: No child processes -bash: fork: retry: No child processes -bash: fork: retry: No child processes After this happens the system is quite unhappy. :-) Firefox crashes, plasma crashes and kmail does not respond, possibly all due to the above. When running htop I see lots of processes/threads under akonadi. I suspect that the number of threads being created surpasses the number allowed. But I am unsure how to proceed. As I said in another message I have kmail running very well in other computer and I am composing/reading email over ssh in that same computer. Any help is appreciated, regards, -- José Abílio _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
