huch, I never knew that there is a problem with akonadi and nfs. I use 
nfs home drives since many years without major problems. Only akonadi 
trouble I had was a problem that akonadi was shutdown after dbus (or 
may be took to long to shutdown and was forced) and with the next 
start this gave an error at the first akonadi start. Strange enough I 
have it again with kde 4.6.1. (The error is there in kde 4.5.5, but 
kmail starts anyway contrary to kde 4.6.1)

I use nfs4, centos 5 as server and fedora 14 as client.
