I made sure I read the files and wrote down any important information before deleting them. I should be able to rebuild these because Akonadi doesn't touch the underlying data (right? RIGHT?!). It's sometimes just easier to start fresh, which is what I want to do, anyhow.

If I can figure out what the maildir and vCard directory plugins are choking on, I might be able to fix the offending files by hand and/or file an intelligent bug report. But, again, I don't know which logs to review. So what I'd like to do, because at this point I haven't much of a choice, is to rebuild the Akonadi databases from scratch and reconfigure them.
