By default Akonadi uses its own MySQL instance, thus not interfering with 
anything else.

When configured to use an external instance, e.g. a system wide MySQL 
instance, it will neither attempt start not stop of that instance.
Which is why this option is not the default since it requires some other 
start/stop mechanism be setup and working correctly, e.g. system runlevel 
script.

One can basically think of the default setup like MySQL/Embedded, where the 
MySQL code is linked into the application and doing the database work in the 
main process.
This option has actually been desired but had to be dropped due to 
MySQL/Embedded not supporting any backend with transaction support (at least 
at the time of last evaluation).

Cheers,
Kevin
