--- Comment #3 from Bernhard E. Reiter <bernhard at intevation.de> ---
Also updated to akonadi
Version: 1.7.50.20120604.gitdeec1f8deec1f-1maemo6.3

it turned out this was a problem related to the filesystem.
I have synced a rather large account and thus I've moved the akonadi data store
too the MyDocs partition which is vfat and larger as outlined in
http://userbase.kde.org/Kontact_Touch/Harmattan#Additional_Notes

While there is still space on the partition  the error message by akonadi is:
Insert: payload file  "/home/user/.local/share//akonadi/file_db_data/141229_r0"
 could not be open for writing!  Error:  "No space left on device"  

Turns out there are already a large number of files in that directory:
ls|wc                                                                           
    32764
and there is a limit
~/MyDocs/akonadi/file_db_data $  touch x                                        
touch: x: No space left on device     

So the workaround seems to be that I need to tune akonadi to create less
files in that directory. Which would have been okay. if the error message would
have reached me as a user. 

So I am refocussing this issuse towards:
Problem description: A filesystem problem (cannot create new files) must be
reported to the user by the frontend.
Current behaviour: A sync hang which is not recoverable.
Rationale: The effects of the defect are severe, as the client get unusable.
Filesystem issues can appear under normal usage and the user may be able to
recover from the situation by other means if informed. E.g. the user may be
able to remove some folders within Kontact or make space on the used filesystem
by other means.
