Akonadi Error "Failed to retrieve resource collection"

[John Aldrich]

Anyone seeing this error? It started after I upgraded my Fedora 17 to  
KDEPIM 4.9.5 this morning and then continued after I upgraded to  
Feodra 18 and KDEPIM/KMail 4.10.1-1. How do I fix this???

I *have* filed a bug report (Bug #317293 on bugs.kde.org) but haven't  
heard anything back yet....'course it's only been this afternoon, but  
still...

 I just did a fresh install of Fedora 18.  When I attempted to start KMail
the first time, I got the same error.

In my experience, that error is one of those generic "something real bad 
happened" bugs/crashes.  The path of least resistance may well be to reset 
akonadi config/accounts(1), and start over.


To reset akonadi...

1.  stop akonadi:
$ akonadictl stop

2. backup/rename/delete anything matching:
~/.kde/share/config/akonadi*
~/.config/akonadi/
~/.local/share/akonadi/

3. optionally backup/rename/delete kmail related stuff
~/.kde/share/apps/kmail2/
~/.kde/share/config/kmail2rc


4.  (restart) akonadi:
$ akonadictl start
