Shut down Kmail, and move .local/share/akonadi out of the way or rename it. 
Restart Kmail (Akonadi should start up) and you should be OK. There has been a 
fair amount of chat on this last weekend here.

I am still having to do this from time to time (IE every evening when I switch 
on) but sadly no time to debug yet :( I use akonadi with kabc.

I have just updated to 1.1.1-6 so we will see what happens tomorrow evening.
