Hi Michael,

I have a working KMail again. :-D

The akonadiconsole crashed on a NULL pointer dereference in
mysql-5.1-5.1.45/sql-common/client.c:3219

After adding a check and "return 0", the akonadiconsole came up.
Should I report a bug for libmysqlclient16?

In akonadiconsole I could see, that akonadi is not running.
In "Server"->"Configure Server" was point "Use internal MySQL server"
unchecked and the server config below was not complete.
"Host", "Username" and "Password" was empty.

So the problem seems to be a not working MySQL server setting, but
akonadi should not crash on this.
I used KDE components 4.3 without any problem and after upgrading
to 4.4 the issue occured.


Thanks,
Erik
