Hi John,

Deleting the akonadi data and config does not delete your mail. Just don't 
delete the mail storage. I don't think deleting kmails files does any good.

Before trying that, try running the following, preferably in a terminal:

akonadictl vacuum
akonadictl fsck

Vacuum just cleans up your databases, and requires "lots of time and disk 
space".
Fsck will try to fix inconsistemcies in the local storage, and also takes time.
Those commands spared me deleting akonadi data quite some times :)

Kindly,
Anders
