So this is exactly what i wanted to know. It is possible to turn it on.

I won´t be worried because of this, as for sure i´m a little crazy
anyway. If it´s to much i will also disable it again.

I tried Mandriva several years ago but did not get the feeling for this
distribution. Perhaps it´s feeling better nowadays so i´ll give it a try
next time. As i use an OpenExchange server kontact was really good but
not with akonadi anymore. I now use thunderbird with addons.

Thank you for your informative answer.
