kcmshell4 kcm_akonadi_resources starts a Programm-Window called  
"Einrichtung des persönlichen Informationsmanagement von Akonadi"  
(personal information management of Akonadi) with no entry. The presets  
are also empty. What shall I add? My ~/.local/share/contacts is empty.

By the way, if I start "Einrichtung des persönlichen  
Informationsmanagement von Akonadi" from the system control panel, there  
are many entries:

two times "Persönliche Kontakte" (Personal Contacts) referencing to  
~/.local/share/contacts/ (there is only WARNING_README.txt)

akonadi_kabc_resource_6 and akonadi_kabc_resource_7, doesn't work because  
no KDE_ addressbook

akonadi_kabc_resource_8 and "Adressbuch von Kontakte" (addressbook of  
Kontacts), working, references to ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/stdvcf (vCard)  
which is empty

My ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc contains only empty *.vcf files.

see above.

I assume the data is still stored in Akonadi because if I search for  
eMail-addresses, I found them inside

~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ibdata1
~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/akonadi/parttable.ibd
~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/freebusyurls
~/.kde/share/config/krusaderrc

where ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ibdata1 and  
~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/akonadi/parttable.ibd contain 10 MiB each.

THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP, I'm desperately looking for a solution
Andreas
