I checked ~/.kde/share/config/kontactrc and didn't see this entry so I added it and started Kontact. <br>It turns out that there IS something else going on.

<br>I checked and verified that my Akonadi server is started.

</div></div>Go to ~/.kde/share/config/kontactc and search for Tip. You should find this<br>
section<br>
<br>
[TipOfDay]<br>
RunOnStart=false<br>
<br>
Yours must be set to true. Edit it, and you should be fine. It's odd that<br>
you have the problem, though, unless it's a red herring and you are having<br>
something like an akonadi problem causing a freeze.<br>
