If your backup files are empty, dating back for weeks and months, it cannot be 
in any way related to Akonadi.  It sounds as though you have been happily 
using addresses from Recent Addresses, saved in the kmail config files, without 
realising that you had lost data.

If Akonadi is set up correctly you should have individual vcf files in 
~/.local/share/contacts.  If there is nothing there, migration has not taken 
place - presumably because it found an empty std.vcf.  You *must* find your old 
backups - it is the only place you have data now.
