Well it still possible, but yes the data are more cluttered. So if you want to
sync all data you need to stop akonadi before, so the database is shutdown.
And the default paths have changed, so you will need to update the paths you
want to synchronize.
akonadictl stop
* ~/.local/share/akonadi/
* ~/.config/akonadi*
-> all paths, that you defined inside the resoureses
~/.config/akonadi*resource_*rc
* passwords from kwallet5
akonadictl start
for the other machine you need also to stop akonadi first and restart it
afterwards.
Just for your information, if you only copy the .config files akonadi will
redownload everything from IMAP.
If you just update the local maildir folder, akonadi should just detect the
new mails and show this within kmail. akonadi uses inotify, so make sure that
inotify has not run into a limit of watched directories. The default in debian
is quite low.
This is for akonadi data, than you also have configuration for the pim apps,
these are still configfiles, you can simply copy around, but these might also
moved to .local or .config.
@baloo: baloo is simply the file indexer for KDE and has nothing to do with
kdepim. (at least for unstable). The pim indexer was split out and renamed to
akonadisearch. but in both cases the indexer is shut down with akonadi, cause
it it a resource in akonadi, too.

Try to just sync your local maildir - search for the config file to get the
correct location of you maildir folder and sync this to the other computer.

I never tried the 'pimsettingexporter' :)
