    [SOLVED] Mail Dispatcher Agent problem

    hi
    i recently upgraded to Kubuntu 11.10 and now get the following notification on bootup

    Mail Dispatcher Agent: Could not access the outbox folder (Unknown error. (Failed to fetch the resource collection.)).

    I do not want to use the mail system at all. Is there any way i can disable it so that this message does not appear?

    Edit the file ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc and change this line

    StartServer=true

    to

    StartServer=false

    I presume you're using some other email client like Thunderbird? You can also disable the Akonadi tray icon with this command sequence (source):

    mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart && cp /usr/share/autostart/akonaditray.desktop ~/.config/autostart && echo "Hidden=true" >> ~/.config/autostart/akonaditray.desktop

      I am not using ANY email client. What exactly do your instructions do. Do they disable Akonadi altogether (I would dearly love to get rid of it) or does it just hide the icon?

        Please read the Akonadi page in the KDE UserBase Wiki for more information.

            This resolved this issue for me as well.

            Thanks!
