I'm not sure what exactly you are suggesting. Lately I've been working on
Akonadi [1] and I'm happy to report that I believe I've managed to
stabilise it. I strongly recommend to refrain from any further uploads
of 1.13 unless some serious bugs are discovered.

With my huge mail archive I'm in the same boat with you so I've tried
latest head of 1.13 branch but found it unreliable and half-baked with
multiple regressions in various backends. I selectively applied all
changes that work reliably and I even had to rollback some that did not
pass my tests. Testing Akonadi is a hell of an effort as it requires
many hours of stressing with all three backends. Some changes in 1.13
cause unrecoverable database errors when even `akonadictl fsck` does not
help. Some changes break initialisation of new database.

I feel very uncomfortable about the idea of uploading any further changes
to 1.13. I strongly recommend to wait till new upstream release.

Meanwhile you can upgrade to akonadi/1.13.0-7 which accumulated the best
improvements from 1.13 without known regressions.
