If my memory serves me well one developer said, that all akonadi config
stuff now is located in the akonadi config sub folder (this once was
mixed in kmail and akonadi config). Is this true? So I can sync my home
folder and ignore all folders and files named akonadi or located in
folders named akonadi?
