After posting this, I opened KMail, and it was in an unuseable state. I closed it, ran "akonadictl restart" (without "sudo"), and it is working fine.
But why do I have to run akonadictl repeatedly?
Take a look at the logs in .local/share/akonadi/ to see if there any akonadi startup errors. -A
When I run "akonadictl restart" I get a list of 19 akonadi "tests", all of which are "ok", such as akonadi.pimitemtable OK I do not have any error file in ~/.local/share/akonadi/ (I just have an empty file akonadictl.error.old .)
I have absolutely no idea what I would (or should) do if I were told that akonadi.pimitemtable was not OK. To me it is just one of the senseless messages that I now get from all too many KDE applications.
I would rather just be told what is not working, and what to do about it, or at least where to find more about the problem.
Does no-one now believe in Ken Thompson's mantra, "A program should do one thing, and do it well" ?
