thanks for the detailed explanation.
Regarding "what does it buy you": I was basically asking because
akonadictl fsck
reported many (unfix-able) warnings for a KDE environment I was using for
many years (and it was upgraded several times). Unfortunately I cannot
provide the exact warning text as I don't use this box anymore.
Kind regards,
Frank
