Yes it is.

I think that the problem is with me using sqlite instead of mysql, as Alan 
already suggested.  On the basis that kmail was launching fine (albeit there 
was the occasional akonadi crash) since I installed kde-4.4.4 I assumed that 
akonadi was just a bit temperamental.  However, it seems that with kde-4.4.4 
sqlite is less compatible that it was with previous versions.

Deleting the akonadi.db causes sqlite to fail next time akonadi tries to 
start:

This is the reason that I could not start kmail at all after I deleted 
akonadi.db

I have now restored akonadi.db from a back up and akonadi starts without 
drama, however, my addressbook looks empty!  I also restored this from a back 
up, so I know it is not empty - also, when I start typing an address it 
autocompletes.

I also tried to run:

 INSERT INTO ResourceTable (name,isVirtual) VALUES 
('akonadi_search_resource','true')

as the above link recommends, but it complains:

Error: no such table: ResourceTable

Any idea what the stanza should be?

Clearly kde-4.4.4 is a bit problematic for me because unlike kde devs I do not 
need/want to run mysql just for less than 20 addresses or so, that I may have 
in my address book.

It may be time to give claws-mail a spin.
