Thanks for the suggestion.
I read all the contributions to that thread,
but the only one with a concrete suggestion was the last, where I read
------------------------------------
I had this error message awhile ago (long enough that my memory is foggy on 
exact error message) and I believe the issue was with the local folders 
setup. Deleting the resource fixed the issue I believe. Note please be 
careful before removing this resource from akonadi, I'm not sure what data 
will be lost! I did it when I had no data in the folders. 
------------------------------------

Unfortunately I have no idea how to "delete the resource".
In fact I have no idea what an akonadi resource is, or where it lives.
Nor do I know what "local folders" are.

I think in cases like this it always helps
if people post the exact command they gave to solve the problem,
or the exact application they used if that is more relevant.
Abstract advice like the above is useless to ignorami like me.
