I am sorry that I spread my half-knowledge... and many thanks for adding your explanation.
Is there a way to control the size of this cache?
Mine seems to be huge
rd@blackbox:~/.local/share/akonadi/file_db_data$ du -sh . 12G . rd@blackbox:~/.local/share/akonadi/file_db_data$
and I would not mind reducing it to a lower single digit GB number.
Many thanks Rainer
