Yes. This was reported already but not seen as valid. You simply must not 
delete your db without deleting everything else.

Back then I suggested to not rely on "unique" numbers, i.e. 1,2,3,4... within 
the akonadi db but create real unique numbers or at least save a unique number 
in the config and db and check whether they match when starting akonadi. this 
would allow to prevent this kind of trouble and even data loss, e.g. because 
messages are moved to some folder, e.g. the trash.

But this was not seen as reasonable and thus the issue still exists.
