Hi everyone.
I live in a country with bad (spell: BAD) internet. Interruptions, slow, a lot of government control etc.

Sending emails sometimes doesn’t work. It complains about that the sending agent hasn’t been set up (it has) or some similar stuff. Emails remain in the outbox for days. Sometimes a manual send works, sometimes not. Today I had to save 6 emails as draft, synchronize with Gmail and then send them from the Web interface. That works, though.

Oh, and akonadiconsole complains twice about a database problem (Failed to connect to database: driver not loaded), before it opens up normally…
