And then I simply copied back my .kde4/share/config directory I had backed
up before yesterday evening's Akonadi changes, and suddenly ALL IS WORKING!
Plasma is starting again, KMail shows my mails, and I can even send mails
now.
Okay, I still get the 'Could not create collection' notification. And one
KMail folder just got me this notification:
<server>: Saving failed, server replied: A001605 BAD Invalid system flag
\RECENT
In the Akonadi settings, I can choose between Mysql and PostgreSQL, neither
is set (it was set to Mysql before). Below, I see no longer the path tho the
mysql binary, but settings for an external PostgreSQL server.
I'm glad things started working again, I have a usable desktop, and I can
see and send mails. Now I will check for the Trash, and maybe delete and re-
create some resources. Time for another backup before I do this.
