Seems to me that it's indexing your mail, to enable search functionality.

Now, one problem is if such takes a *long* time or never finishes... 
How long did you let it run before resorting to:
akonadictl stop
?

If you don't want mail/search enabled, you can goto
systemsettings->desktop search and uncheck 'enable email indexer'
