Hi,

Few minutes ago I just reemerged a new kde 4.10.0. Unfortunatley, when I am trying to run kmail or kontact when program starts, few seconds after this I have a meassage:

Did You emerge app-office/akonadi-server with sqlite USE flag?

I had the same problem and had to switch to mysql backend (even
though akonadi-server is built with sqlite support and I even
unmasked sqlite to try soft masked version)

anyway, in ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc I switched to
mysql:

In ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc I switched to I think previous driver Driver=QSQLITE, and now looks all the folders are back in kmail but I cannot read emails as I have:
Retrieving Folder Contents
Please wait . . .

but when I start akonadiconsole looks like all the emails are in the folders, so I am waiting with finger crossed for kmail to do the job.

Kmail has some new import functions ... it can import from itself now (see Menu "File" / "Import")

Right, here is what I have now:

[1] If I use Driver=QSQLITE3 then I have an access to all old emails and folders, but I kmail is busy by "Retrieving Folder Contents
Please wait . . .". I was waiting few hours and nothing. When the folder is with 1 or 2 emails I could read the email, but system is all the time busy.
[2] If I use Driver=QMYSQL then I DO NOT have an access to all old emails and folders, but apart this verything works fine. Kmail is receiving and sending emails. The only problem, after sending an email I can't see any emails in folder SENT.

Is it possible to run kmail now with QSQLITE3 driver or maybe will be easier export data so kmail with QMYSQL driver could read old emails?

My file akonadiserverrc:

My last experience.

Finally, I received my old emails and can smoothly use 4.10.0!

What I had to do, it was to delete all old kde configurations files in my /home directory from 4.9.5 (as advised), but I created a virgin new account there, to be 100% sure there is nothing inside from previous version. In this new account I had no problems with anything so far and plasma-desktop 100% CPU was much more rarely. On branch new kmail (which works fine) I created again all account (pop, smtp, etc) and imported all old messages by "Import Messages.." from file menu of kmail. Now kmail works perfect!

To recover my old emails I have made a fresh account on another laptop withs stable kde (4.9.5) and copied into account only this (no any other configurations files, as first time It did work well):

This thread shows my motivation to switch from KMail to Thunderbird - although I like KDE (except the PIM suite)

Xywa:

on your
[QMYSQL]
Name=akonadi
Host=
Options="UNIX_SOCKET=/home/me/.local/share/akonadi/socket-tux/mysql.socket"
ServerPath=/usr/sbin/mysqld
StartServer=true

is that your usename or something specific to akonadi as it's not making sense to me.
