--- Comment #20 from Knut Hildebrandt <knut.hildebrandt at gmx.de> ---
Okay, lets try and dig a bit deeper into the problem. I try to remember all the
steps I had to go through to migrate from KDE 4.12.x to 4.13.2.

After installing 4.13.2 Kmail got totally confused. The configuration of all my
mail-accounts seemed to have gone.  None of the hand picked icons I had set
were displayed nor the folder names. Moreover I had two resources shown which
both pointed to my local-mail directory. One could display all the mails
archived there but somehow localization did  not work. Neither the German nor
Spanish names for standard-folders were displayed nor the standard icons for
inbox, draft etc.. All I got to see were the blue folder-icons and the English
directory names.The other folder looked right, but none of the stored mails
could be seen.

Honestly I don't remember what I did exactly to fix this problem, but I think I
played all the akonadi and nepomuk stuff back from a backup and ran
nepomukbaloomigrator after. Then everything looked right. Only loss were the
"categories" I had used in KAdressbook and the notes I had attached  to my
mails. Already filed a bug report about this.

Next step was getting Kalarm and Knotes working. After a few try-and-error
attempts I first got all my reminders in Kalarm displayed and after executing
knotes-migrator I had two AkoNotes-resources shown in Akonadi but no notes in
Knotes. By now there is only one resource left, the one named "Notas locales".
This is the one which points to the directory where my notes were stored after
migration and where I save new notes now. The second resource I deleted, if I
remember right.

Apart from the above mentioned "Notas locales" there are no more AkoNotes
resources present in my Akonadi resource list. The second collection one can
see in the Knotes setup dialogue points to my local-mail directory.  And there
is only a MailDir-Resource named "Carpetas locales" present in Akonadi.

Maybe it is helpful to mention that I use KDE and its PIM-suite for more than
ten years migrating step by step from KDE 3.5.x to 4.x. Meanwhile I also
migrated from Suse to Kubuntu and recently to Chakra Linux. Thus there might be
some leftovers in the configuration file I'm not aware of ;-)

I see that it is named "Notizen", but there is no resource named "Notizen" any
more. There was one, if I recall it correctly, which pointed to my local-mail
directory.That was the second Akonotes resource that appeared after migration.
Since it didn't make sense to me to have it I just deleted it.

Yep, in the screnn-shot it is called "Maildir", but right now it is called
"Carpetas locales" even though I did not change my language settings. Only
thing I did meanwhile, I hibernated my laptop (Ruhezustand). Very confusing:

There was no resource named "Notizen" I could remove in akonadiconsole. But I
removed the two additional akonadi-contacts-resouces and it did not cause any
harm.

Well, for me everything works fine, at least for the moment. Hope to have made
migration a bit easier for others with these remarks. And hopefully these
problems get solved in future releases.

Cheers

Knut
