Akonadi complaint message.

Using kmail2 4.8.1, Fedora 16 RPMs.  I ssh -X from my local machine to the remote machine, launch kmail2 from the command line.  Kmail2 opens, but greys out the whole UI and complains that Akonadi is not running and kmail2 can't be used without it.  A START button is provided, but clicking on it has no noticeable effect.  I need to CTL-Q out of kmail2  and then relaunch it to actually read email.

This is still present on 4.9.5.
Comment 2 Christian 2013-07-26 18:48:42 UTC
I suffer from the same nasty bug, so at least I can confirm it.
KDE: 4.10.5 "release 1", KMail: 4.10.5, Qt: 4.8.4, openSUSE 12.3 64bit, 3.7.10-1.16-desktop, SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux
Best regards, Christian

Still happening on 4.11.3 on Fedora.

I'm not sure what changed, but this no longer seems to be an issue with 4.11.5.
