Can you run the mysqld command manually? for me it looks like: /usr/sbin/mysqld \\ --defaults-file=/home/kevin/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf \\ --datadir=/home/kevin/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ \\ --socket=/home/kevin/.local/share/akonadi/socket-persephone/mysql.socket > Now, I have found akonadi stuff in $HOME/.local and $HOME/.config.

I guess so. the XDG locations were introduced at a point where it was too late for KDE's 4.x series to switch to it but applications built-upon the KDE Frameworks 5 efforts might. Akonadi server, being a desktop independent project, would of course not use .kde in the first place, Akonadi related KDE programs do. Cheers, Kevin
