 Why would it be? I don't remember when did I removed the last time my db. 
Must be some years ago, or more exactly my mysql folder in 
~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data is from September 2011 and that might have 
been when I moved my home dir to a new partition.[*] Especially if you have 
added manually the accounts to the server, it *should* work (famous last 
word ;) ).
 In theory there could be things breaking the db completely, but I doubt 
this happens often, if at all. Broken search is unrelated to the Akonadi 
database. Missing cached bodies for e.g disconnected IMAP (meaning you need 
to be online to read disconnected IMAP) is a partial breakage, but not 
really in the database, but in the IMAP code.
 Most of the things that could have gone wrong in previous versions are 
caught by akonadictl fsck, and cleaned up. Some are not yet cleaned up, but 
they should not cause real buggy behavior.

as my mail listing got messed up.
