I usually kill all of kmail and akonadi data when i get fed up by all those "Resource Maildir id 
broken. This resource is online now messages" i get from time to time. My attempts at getting 
help fixing those or even just to find out what the reason is only get silence on #kde-pim so 
after some time i just clean out everything and start from scratch. Not optimal but the best i can 
come up with.

Btw. Is it just me or are the irc channels less helpful and chatty than one or two years ago?

When the message happens i have some corrupted mails in my mailing list folders (thats where 
it usually happens so i think filtering is involved). Clicking on them triggers the message and no 
content is shown. Trying to delete them triggers the message and nothing happens. Update the 
folder has no effect and "Remove duplicate mails" has no effect but increasing my load either 
(Sometimes the message is there twice. One working the other not).

Some time ago i learned that the only way to fix this situation is by making tabula rasa because 
that database is tied tightly to the rest of my configuration. So cleaning one means having to 
clean to. I learned it the hard way by loosing data btw. But its no fun.

I can work for month with my setup without seeing them. Then something happens, no idea 
what, and the error is there. Usually a bunch of them. Never just one.

Btw. seldomly updated self compiled master. But it has no correlation to updating afaics.
