Well, maybe you messed something up when restoring the backup?
Like leaving akonadi config files in the system that are not contained in the
backup, or forgetting to restore some files?

Could explain your problems now.

But this is not really related to this bug report.

Well, but why is it called "Notizen" then?
I think there's still something wrong with the Akonadi database.
But this sure sounds related to your restore from the backup.

Maybe try to run "akonadictl fsck".

Or maybe look at the database directly and remove it there, via akonadiconsole
f.e.
If you need help with that better ask in the forum though.

This is a bug report, not a user support thread.

I don't think it makes sense to report a separate bug report about that maildir
resource being shown in knotes though, as it is likely caused by an
inconsistent Akonadi database.

But this bug report is about not being able to create notes.
Not about the migration.

The OP even skipped the migration, and I can reproduce here that there is no
default collection selected in that case.

Your remarks would be better suited to a forum or mailinglist thread I think,
not a bug report for a completely different issue where you seem to have
experienced something similar as well but because of completely other reasons.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So that it doesn't get lost between all that other text, I repeat again here
what IMHO this bug report is about:
- _no_ default notes collection to store notes is set automatically when you
skip the migration (on a fresh user account f.e.). The user has to set one
manually.
- knotes silently fails when you try to create a note and there is no default
collection set. It should tell the user about the problem, and maybe even show
a dialog to pick one in that case.
