A while ago I eventually got my contacts back. I forget the actual cause now, but I strongly suspect it involved tinkering with mysql, and this may have broken in turn my calendar. I'm going to do one last test before consigning kdepim to the trashbin: migrate everything to a new user and start with a default config. If it works, I can migrate the data at my leisure. But now, stupid question incoming: How you you get akonadi to use sqlite as the backend? There's no, erm, gui tickbox for that. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
