i searched for and didn't find a way to configure akonadiserver to prevent this
behavior when using a MySQL database for storage.  but i found a workaround:
use a PostgreSQL database instead.  after installing PostgreSQL, the procedure
i used (iirc) was:

$ sudo -u postgres createuser akonadi
$ sudo -u postgres psql
postgres=# \password akonadi
<set the database password for akonadi>
$ sudo -u postgres createdb akonadi
^C
$ akonadictl stop
$ akonaditray
<use AkonadiTray to point akonadiserver at the new akonadi database on
localhost, authenticating as akonadi>
$ rm -rf $HOME/.config/akonadi $HOME/.local/share/akonadi
$ akonadictl start

i then ran into the issues in bug 265155, but these don't seem to visibly
inhibit Akonadi's functionality.
