This works!

However, a new user does not get the akonadi item in system settings, and 
removal (renaming) of ~/.local/share/akonadi directory did not work either.  
But, I did not reboot, just did the logout - login to KDE.

Anyhow, I now have a way of configuring the akonadi server in a simple way.  
Thanks!
