I left KDE about a year ago when akonadi stopped working on my system. It took about a week of trying everything I could find on the web before I left it for dead. I've never had a good experience with akonadi but I could get it to work by deleting the config directory every week or two in the early days.
My thought was to convert to Gnome but I never really got into it and have been using Windows 7.
Anyway, now I need some information from the notebooks in Kontact and I'd like to retrieve my old mail. There is a lot of both.
To that end, I installed Kubuntu 11.10 this evening. When I try to start Kontact, it fails with an Akonadi error. It's a fresh install with hard disk format. I swear, I've never seen akonadi run properly since it was introduced and I've put a lot of time into Arch and Kubuntu in the last several years.
I've killed the config directory a couple of times (.local/share/akonadi) but nothing seems to be working.
I'm not interested in wasting too much time because I can just write a python script to re-animate the mail and re-send it to my Windows Live Mail in an evening. If it's easy, I might put an hour or two into getting the mail system up long enough to liberate my mail through the interface.
My main concern is the notebooks. Where are they? I don't care about the formatting, I just want the raw text. There is a lot of important information in there that I realize I desperately need. I'm willing to invest a couple of weeks recovering it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
