25 OK, I found why this was - I needed to attach the akonadi.db first! Doh!
26
27 It now works and can launch kmail fine. :-)

29 The only problem seems to be that my kaddressbook is empty. This
30 could be because I am using the old kabc/std.vcf file instead of the
31 new .local/share/contacts directory format - although I tried the
32 latter and I got an address book listed, but no contacts in it are
33 shown in the GUI.
34
35 Will have to wait for the next version of KDE as advised on the KDE
36 akonadi pages.

40 I did try it and can categorically say that it is not for me.
41 Managing messages with the keyboard, the way it integrates with Gmail,
42 its GbuPG and S/MIME plugins, are just not as convenient or smooth
43 flowing for me as is kmail.
