I am running akonadi 1.6.2, kmail 4.7.3 and have a very similar issue as in Bug #250039: Creating an IMAP resource fails and KMail crashes/exits on startup. I tried to clean up akonadi but it still has this 'Failed to request resource "akonadi_maildir_resource_0"' issue. What can I do?

The main error message is: Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsRequestJobPrivate::resourceScanResult: Failed to request resource "akonadi_maildir_resource_0" : "Unknown error. (Failed to fetch the resource collection.)"
Report upstream and link here back.
Oh i see that you have already a upstream bug report, which says INVALID... Please have a look at the KDEPIM Upgrade Guide: http://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=KDEPIM-4.7_upgrade .

What info can I contribute to debug this better? I don't have any files that I want to keep, I just want to initialize akonadi+kmail+1 imap account from scratch. As you see from the log I try to delete directories that may be tainted.
In the upgrade guide you can find all relevant folders.
Thanks Johannes. I deleted all the files/folders mentioned in the KDEPIM Upgrade Guide, but am still having the exact same issue. $ rm ~/.kde4/share/config/{mailtransports,kmailrc,kaddressbookrc,korganizerrc,emailidentities,emaildefaults} $ rm -rf ~/.kde4/share/apps/korganizer $ rm -rf ~/.kde4/share/apps/kabc $ rm -rf /home/user/.kde4/share/apps/kmail2 $ rm -rf /home/user/.kde4/share/config/kmail* $ rm -rf /home/user/.local/share/akonadi/
