In this note the almost sure convergence of stationary, φ-mixing sequences of random variables with values in real, separable Banach spaces according to summability methods is linked to the fulfillment of a certain integrability condition generalizing and extending the results for i.i.d. sequences. Furthermore we give via Baum-Katz type results an estimate for the rate of convergence in these l...
