I was trying to get kmail working since my upgrade to 4.10. I never got it
working in 4.8.4 either, with similar errors. I looked online, but akonadi
troubleshooting tips are all over the board. I found some for 4.3, and on
the KDE wiki has one troubleshooting tip for Can't read any details of
some messages or big delays to read it so I thought I would ask here.
When I opened kmail, it tried to transition to 4.10, and the first step was
to start akonadi. It failed after a few minutes. Tests 1, 2, and 6 passed,
tests 3, 4, and 5 (the mysql stuff) were untested.
Test 7: ERROR

Test 11: ERROR
No resource agents found.
Details: No resource agents have been found, Akonadi is not usable without
at least one. This usually means that no resource agents are installed or
that there is a setup problem. The following paths have been searched:
'/usr/share/akonadi/agents'. The XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable is set
to '/usr/share:/usr/share:/usr/local/share'; make sure this includes all
