--- Comment #1 from Martin Steigerwald <Martin at Lichtvoll.de> ---
Hello Daniel. Thank you for your report and sorry for taking long time to
answer. As I think this is mostly a duplicate of your other bug I am marking it
as such.

Also the locations where Akonadi stores data are clearly known.

For now I recommend to always backup the following at least:

- ~/.local/share/akonadi
- Data from the resources:
  - Maildir: ~/.local/share/local-mail or wherever you pointed it to
  - Contacts: ~/.local/share/contacts or wherever you pointed it to
  - Calender: ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf (I think) or wherever you pointed
it to
  - see ~/.kde/share/config/akonadi* for the locations the resources point to
for example:

martin at merkaba:~/.kde/share/config> cat akonadi_maildir_resource_0rc
[General]
Path[$e]=$HOME/.local/share/local-mail
TopLevelIsContainer=true

- ~/.config/akonadi
- ~/.kde/share/config/akonadi*
- Configuration of the apps

In other to start new from scratch you would delete these.

It is known to the dev team that things are spread around quite a bit. And
there are discussions, ideas to simply / unify this. This may take some more
time tough. And as usual no promises.
