It's enough to get me working again, thanks. I renamed the config folder, then when everything worked I just pulled in the necessary email settings configs (important time saver :-) ) and akregator feed configs. I set up the akonadi addressbook resource from scratch, and all seems to be well. Of course I'll have to re-do any other settings, but they are less important than having kontact working again :-) I still have signing and encrypting to sort out, but I'm sure I'll find the problem soon.
