SUMMARY
I was messing around with Kontact in Flatpak to compare feature parity with the
older version shipped in Debian 12. The Flatpak tends to take in accounts from
Akonadi already in the Debian installation instead of being a completely
isolated instance separate from Debian.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have Kontact installed from apt on Debian with accounts already set up
2. Install Kontact as a Flatpak
3. Flatpak version recognizes the accounts from the Debian/Apt version and
somehow interacts with the Debian Akonadi database
4. Sync, but unsuccessfully. All account info (even from accounts freshly
created in the flatpak version) does not sync in the flatpak version and no
data populates.

OBSERVED RESULT
Flatpak version of the app is devoid of data for all recognized accounts. All
changes and syncing is visible on the Debian version. The Flatpak version is
functionally useless when the Debian database exists.

EXPECTED RESULT
The Flatpak should be completely independent of the Debian installation. When
installed for the first time, the Flatpak should have no accounts set up and
when an account is set up, it should populate accordingly.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian 12 with Kernel 6.1.0-18-amd64 (64-bit)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On Debian version, I set up my Akonadi database to use SQLite instead of MySQL.
