Oops, I meant to say 'service msqyld start'. Notice the "mysqld" instead of
"mysql".
In any case, since you're able to see that mysql is in fact running (if you
run "pgrep mysql" it should return a PID, I'm sure you know this), that may
not be the issue.
I'd love to see the output of Akonadi when you try to start it via GUI (using
the method I gave you above). It'll give you a nice little list of the things
it could do and the things that it could not do and need to be fixed. It will
usually show errors with mysql or d-bus...that way we could narrow it down.
Also, here is a link to a few sites I had used when I was going through this
same problem. The first is from Mandriva's forums, but it should work
similarly for Fedora. This invovles enabled the Nepomuk service--I did not
have to do this in Fedora for my Akonadi to work. The second is from the KDE
forums and notes some changes made in /etc/akonadi/mysql-global.conf and
others to get Kmail, etc. working:

"I solved the problem "Akonadi Control process is not registered at D-bus."
this way :
- Enabled nepomuk
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2010.0_Errata#Enabling_Nepomuk_fails_on_a_fresh_install_of_KDE4_One_Live_CD
- Uninstalled akonadi's following rpm : qt4-database-plugin-mysql,
akonadi-1.2.1-5-mdv2010.0.i586, akonadi-kde4-4.3.2-1-mdv2010.0.i586
- removed akonadi's conf (i just renamed it to be safe...)
~/.local/share/akonadi > ~/.local/share/akonadi_old
- install akonadi's rpm : qt4-database-plugin-mysql, akonadi-1.2.1-5-
mdv2010.0.i586, akonadi-kde4-4.3.2-1-mdv2010.0.i586."
http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=85731
"Check ~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf looking for a line containing 'slow-
query' (I'm writing from memory, so it may be capitalised or not have the
hyphen, or whatever). It should be commented out as should the same line in
/etc/akonadi/mysql-global.conf. This is a change from the old requirement, and
fixing it sorted the problem out for me."
Hope you get it working!
