Good point ! May I assume Akonadi will work with MySQL 5.1 as well as with MySQL 5.5 ? Then I'll try that to get my Desktop fully functional again :-) Though, there's the question left on how new installations of KDE could be made easier as probably most people would run into the same issue. That's why I found it better if people get asked on which MySQL version they want ...
