Hi,
I’ve not been able to use any akonadi-based tools on my workstation for some time; I’ve been reading email with my laptop. But I need to get this fixed.
When I try to start akonadi, I get this error:
$ akonadictl start

I have verified that the files mentioned exist and have rational permissions. I have also simply removed the ~/.local/share/akonadi directory and restarted. Nothing seems to fix this.
Where else should I look?
Mike.
