Thank you, I'll happily check.

While all my contacts are still available in KMail they are missing in
KAddressbook. Since my KOrganizer is also working normally, I didn't realize
that something is wrong. There is not even an addressbook shown on the left
column within KAdressbook, so your guess about a not running akonadi seems to
be quite good ;-)

In my "resources" system settings there was no addressbook either. I readded my
.vcf-file and set it as standard. This didn't help. I then choose to add a
"new" addressbook in KAddressbook and tried using the "KDE Resource" and my
.vcf as "VCard file". Neither worked. So I guess this means KAddressbook is no
longer able to work without Akonadi at all?

I don't have any System Setting which contains the string "akonadi". Since I
have no clue about Akonadi I finally chose to use the akonadi_console, removed
the duplicated entries and clicked "restart". Nothing changed. I used the menu
"Server->stop" which was acknowledged by a notification saying the
correspondent applications won't work any longer. Shortly thereafter the
akonadi_console browser showed some data (including my addressbook)... Ook (why
after stoping...?), now KAddressbook shows the contacts again and kmail can
send mails again. So far, so good. Thank you.

I meanwhile updated to KDE 4.5.5 and now it looks like Akonadi is beeing
started automatically again.


But despite me not messing around with any Akonadi-settings myself (perhaps by
accident?), I thought that kmail 1.x is still "Akonadi-free" - why is it
affected by a missing Akonadi-daemon? And why is it then simply hanging instead
of complaining?


Thank you so far - I got a lot of mails to write ;-).


BTW: Should I prefer pasting long outputs inline over pastebins on b.k.o in the
future?
