Even if you delete the Akonadi configuration under ~/.config/akonadi, this bug will bite you the next time you try to create a new maildir account in Kmail.

To fix this, run the following command:
mysqlcheck -u root -p --auto-repair --optimize --all-databases
Enter the password for your MySQL root user, NOT the system root user.

This bug has to do with MySQL database corruption. It happens after a system crash. I did an Alt+SysRq+RSEIUB to reset my machine (unrelated to Akonadi), and the next login greeted me with Akonadi eating my RAM, my CPU, my cat and part of my keyboard.
