Unfortunately it's the last 5% of polish -- coming up with cool tech is interesting, tracking down that one weird bug in Akonadi that makes mail break randomly after 3 months of working fine is much less enticing.

You are allowed to run SQLite instead, install package `akonadi-server-sqlite` and edit `~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc`. Unfortunately, `akonadiconsole` does not offer this customisation in the GUI for some reason.
thanks - I didn't know about this. I actually like and enjoy this it's just that it's missing polish but this is not the fault of the devs who do hard work for an difficult and almost impossible problem without lot's of ressources and even then it's still difficult to get right.

Oh, they didn’t fail per se. They just ran out of the 11.5 million EUR grant money.
If this stuff would work and not crash adding calendars/todo-lists in the ui would hopefully work and the original ideas and research concepts could be implemented in a fast an good way.
Well, one can dream :)
