Well, I got it running, but then it came up this evening but wouldn't  
respond. What I ended up doing was killing everything Akonadi related  
(sudo pkill akonadi) and then restarting KMail. I got the dreaded  
Nepomuk indexing agent error and re-ran the fix for that. It's highly  
annoying. I'm going to hope the KDE developers get their sh!t together  
and fix all the bugs in KMail soon! That's really all I can do! :-(
