However, I resolved to take a look.At this point I realised that I could no longer run any of the applications stand-alone. I hunted for lock files, found an odd one and removed it. No difference. Totally disabled selinux - no difference. Feeling convinced that the problem was with kmail itself I decided to go with my instincts and change the target for the akonadi resource for local mail. Akonadi started up as though there had never been a problem. A few seconds later I got a crash report from kontact. I asked it to re-start, and here it is. So far, at least, everything is working. I guess akonadi had got its knickers in a twist when it couldn't find that Local folder it was expecting. If all remains well tomorrow I'll file a bug report.
