Actually it doesn't mean either thing :) I.e.it is not part of the general server settings, which directly govern Akonadi Server. It is part of the MySQL settings, determining whether Akonadi will use its own MySQL instance (StartServer = true) or re-use one started elsewhere (StartServer = false). The PostgreSQL backend has a similar setting, the SQLite one doesn't (there is no SQLite daemon option). Changing the setting did not result in Akoandi server not starting, but it failing when trying to do so. Akonadi doesn't have a setting that means "do not start", because it is by default never started just for itself, it only ever starts as a reaction to an Akonadi client needing it. It can appear to be starting at start-up if an Akonadi client is launched at start-up. Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
