I just did a fresh install of Fedora 18.  I was (trying) to run the KMail that is the current version for Fedora 18 (from the official Fedora repo.)  I got the same error that the reporter got.

Good to know I'm not the only one and that it happens on a fresh  
install as well as an upgrade!

Please post the whole log about starting akonadi.

Here's the console output. If you want more, I'll need some instructions on how to get what you want.

Seems your imap resource is crashing (but you refer to maildir originally, so might be not related). Anyway, can you do a "ps uax | grep akonadi" to see what akonadi processes are running?

Sure... and IMAP only crashes when I shut down Akonadi. The rest of  
the time (mostly) it works fine. IMAP *is* buggy, but in this case, I  
think it's a red herring, so to speak.

Anything else you need, let me know.

Well, I'm not sure what it was, but some recent update seems to have fixed KMail. I'm now using kdepim-4.10.2-3.fc18.x86_64, akonadi-1.9.1-1.fc18.x86_64, akonadi-mysql-1.9.1-1.fc18.x86_64 and mysql-5.5.31-1.fc18.x86_64.

getting the same problem in kmail. had to disable akonadi/nepomuk/virtuoso due to CPU usage on my laptop... after restarting the machine, I got this error "Failed to fetch the resource collection." Back to thunderbird for now - am too busy.

Getting the same error following a distribution upgrade.  Have tried multiple fixes from various sources (KDE Forums suggested mariaDB updates, various other forums and boards have suggested deleting all of the .kde data...I have followed some of their directions, but nothing has worked).

Like the last poster, I've already invested quite a lot of time troubleshooting this.  Unlike the last poster, however, Thunderbird isn't really an option because it's a piece of crap.

Update - I think KMail managed to fight through the issue.  Posting here for other folks to give it a shot.

I believe the issue was coming from my Local Folders, as when I would load KMail I could see my usual email account in the accounts list, however my local folders were titled "akonadi_maildir_resource_0" (which is the resource that kmail was telling me I was missing).

I tried clicking on my account information expecting that the error popup would prevent me from doing so, however I was allowed to click the resources specifically and see what was going on.  I didn't see anything there, but tried to see if my account settings were accessible as well figuring that maybe I could just disable stuff until I figured out what was going on.

While I was looking at my settings, the "Accounts" window hung - at about this time, I saw a popup stating that I had a bunch of "new" emails in my local folders (this had not happened previously).

I closed the accounts window and clicked the error message, after which kmail closed (as expected).

When I relaunched kmail I did not get any error messages and everything seems to be loading correctly (although the title of my Local folders seems to be borked, that's a minor issue)

I have not fully tested Kmail yet, but since I'm able to actually open it and get my email I'd consider my issue resolved.

This bug has never been confirmed for a KDE PIM version that is based on KDE Frameworks (5.x). Those versions differ significantly from the old 4.x series. Therefore, I plan to close it in around two or three months. In the meantime, it is set to WAITINGFORINFO to give reporters the oportunity to check if it is still valid. As soon as someone confirms it for a recent version (at least 5.1, ideally even more recent), I'll gladly reopen it.

Please understand that we lack the manpower to triage bugs reported for versions almost two years beyond their end of life.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.1 aka 15.12; preferably much more recent), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
