Well, when I discovered double mail folders and folders I could not
delete (they would reappear immediately), I’ve had enough and cleared
Akonadi out (wasn’t the first time anyway). So I logged out, moved
anything away and logged back in. At first I was appalled, because the
new resources were created and Akonadi started eating CPU again. I don’t
remember the exact item name in the Job Tracker anymore, something about
SpecialCollection.

Anyhoo, I was about to curse at the screen, but just to make sure, I
deleted the stuff a second time and logged in again.

Oh boy... I do understand the motivation and modularity behind the whole
framework. But its implementation leaves things to be desired.
