So far I have not lost mail, but I would like to know if I could reuse Akonadi 
cache as restore data. As every client has daily backups this can be a 
interesting second source for data restoring. In the past I had a restore 
strategy from old kmail. When upgrading the clients to a newer KDE and kmail2 
in the future I would like to know now how to improve/change these kind 
strategies. Therefor I start this challenge.

BTW, I restored mail for an account with older server backup data missing the 
~20 latest mails, run cyrreconstruct, copied the "lost mails" from Akonadi as 
described and rerun cyrreconstruct. Now in Horde-webmail "sort by date" is 
broken but all mails are there.

Bye
