[kdepim-users] Calendars and To-Do List info gone?

[Russ Mannex]

Thanks for that, Martin. Actually, the contacts are still there and accessible 
via kaddressbook. It's just the calendar and todo items that are no longer 
there. What I mean by "lost" is that when I open Kontact or Korganizer, the 
calendar and todo items I had added do not display. The default holidays are 
there, though. There is no way to add new calendar or todo items, as the menu 
items to add new items have been greyed out. The item to import is still 
there, and it asks for the file, etc., then proceeds to "import" but the items 
do not get added.

Akonadi sees to be OK and tests OK, and the calendar that displays by clicking 
on the desktop clock DOES show the calendar items I had added, so they are not 
destroyed, but the tools I use to access them cannot see them, and I cannot 
add new items. Which means I can't work with them at all.

In the meantime, I've temporarily migrated my items to an on-line service 
(which I really don't like).

I'm running Mint 12 KDE. Akonadi is using mysql. Kontact and Korganizer 
versions 4.7.3 (as distributed with Mint).

I am still using kmail and kaddressbook, and I really have enjoyed Kontact and 
Korganizer, so I would like to get them running again. Please let me know if 
you need any more information or have any suggestions. Thanks!
