What I'm wanting is the akonadi/virtuoso driver, every since I read that 
they were working on it, but I'm not sure if it'll be ready for 4.5.  It 
should be heavier duty than sqlite, more stable and without the potential 
upgrade issues of mysql, and for some of us, one less dependency than 
postgres, since virtuoso is already used for the semantic desktop stuff.

I really do hope it's ready for 4.5, as I just don't trust mysql to handle 
kmail, nor do I think sqlite will be up to it, and I don't want to have to 
worry about installing postgres.
