Hi, Petrus.  I don't think it's the same problem.  However, I resolved to take 
a look.At this point I realised that I could no longer run any of the 
applications stand-alone.  I hunted for lock files, found an odd one and 
removed it.  No difference.  Totally disabled selinux - no difference.  
Feeling convinced that the problem was with kmail itself I decided to go with 
my instincts and change the target for the akonadi resource for local mail.  
Akonadi started up as though there had never been a problem. A few seconds 
later I got a crash report from kontact.  I asked it to re-start, and here it 
is.  So far, at least, everything is working.  I guess akonadi had got its 
knickers in a twist when it couldn't find that Local folder it was expecting.

If all remains well tomorrow I'll file a bug report.
