I remember faintly that there had been a problem with that resource but that 
should be fixed by now.

So you are saying that you have running akonadi_maildir processes even after 
removing all in akonadiconsole?

Those are both OK: The second one is a system wide one, Akonadi isn't 
concerned with that.
As Duncan already clarified he was talking about to mysql instances started by 
Akonadi itself, one from an earlier run that seems to not shut down correctly 
and thus keeping the current one from starting up.

I am on 4.3.4 (Debian packages not updated yet) but Duncan says it should be 
OK.
