If this is any help to you, I've attached a script that I've used
numerous times to start from scratch with the whole KDE4 semantic
desktop.  It moves everything related to Nepomuk, Akonadi, and
Kontact's apps, out of your KDE directories and into a backup folder.
Log out, run it, and enjoy the fresh smell of Strigi indexing ~ all
over again.  If you're okay with this level of cleaning; not 100%
certain this is complete but it works for me.

But, I've never used Kmail 1, so I can't say whether or not it will
interfere with Kmail 1's files, because I have no idea where they
live.  Also, if there are extra "a conversion has taken place from
Kmail 1" files created, I'll have missed those (but would like to add
them!).

Also, you might need to manually delete extra resource directories
from ~/.local/share.  I've had odd first starts where KDE decides
after much deliberation that I need seven local-mail resources...

Cheers,
Bryan
