Now I have understood that the contacts data are always stored in kabc 
as std.vcf files, but as I told before, akonadi configured for using an 
external MySQL server was not caring at all about it and Contacts was 
completely empty.
Even without knowing the internal structure of the way akonadi 
stores/shows data, I made the right steps to make it work. It's a raw 
process, but it worked.
