I have recently recompiled some of the packages on my machine (as several of them were outdated, like protobuf) and ended up with a non-functional kmail due to akonadi. I might have done something wrong, but honestly cannot find a legitimate reason. As of now I have tried to remove all akonadi-related files and folders: ~/.config/akonadi* ~/.local/share/akonadi* and restarted akonadi (tried the above steps a few times) but when I create a new kmail account (IMAP), it starts to retrieve data from it and then crashes with the following log: ... org.kde.akonadi.ETM: was collection fetch job: collections: 7 org.kde.akonadi.ETM: first fetched collection: "Search" org.kde.akonadi.ETM: Fetch job took 0 msec org.kde.akonadi.ETM: was collection fetch job: collections: 0 org.kde.akonadi.ETM: Fetch job took 1 msec org.kde.akonadi.ETM: was collection fetch job: collections: 0 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Akonadi::PayloadException' what(): Akonadi::PayloadException: Wrong payload type (requested: sp(0)<QByteArray>; present: sp(2)<KMime::Message*> org.kde.pim.akonadicontrol: ProcessControl: Application "/usr/bin/akonadi_imap_resource" stopped unexpectedly ( "Process crashed" ) org.kde.pim.akonadicontrol: Application '/usr/bin/akonadi_imap_resource' crashed too often.

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start kmail 2. Add imap acount (if already present skip step 2 :) ) 3. Akonadi crashes after starting to retrieve e-mails
I suggest to collect more details on our support channels. https://www.gentoo.org/support/ Could you attach the complete set of log files and emerge --info, please?
Well I managed to fix it, but unfortunately can't point out the exact reason. I did a full recompile of all the installed packages (over 1300, took over a day). Now everything seems to work again. So I guess some order of package install/compilation didn't work for me, but its impossible to find out which. Of course I also did the revdep check/rebuild before reporting this issue.
