I've been using Kubuntu since Breezy Badger and despite the occasional problems I have been very pleased and these forums are legendary! 
I know lots of people have had problems with migration and Kontact, but I've not seen this particular problem reported! I've had such a lot of problems since KDE 4.7.3 and Kubuntu 11.10 upgrades I'm almost in despair! I've already re-formatted and reloaded about 3 times, had complete corruption of my /home directory, black screens, hung displays and had these problems both on my desktop and my partner’s laptop.
I'm convinced the problem is Kontact/Akonadi related.
I thought I had everything sorted by yesterday (having had help from several posts) but today Korganiser has stabbed me in the back!
I've got all my (several years) mails migrated and imported from backups, and all is OK. My calendar was working but I kept getting a pop-up message saying "personal Calendar not loaded" even though calendar changes were being noted and recovered on reload.
But this evening I looked again at the Calendar configuration settings in Kontact (Korganiser Main Configuration/General/Calendars and found that the Personal Calendar setting had no entries set. So, I set the file to ~/.kde/share/apps/korganiser/std.ics and to my amazement all the new entries in the calendar the calendar went blank! Just the old ones were there.
The question is -- Where in Heaven's name was Calendar/Kontact/Akonadi/Nepomuk/(whatever) storing the recently added new data? Prior to directing the entry to the ~/.../std.ics it was there! So it must be stored somewhere? Yes? Can anybody point me to where the data could be?
I know Kontact has frightened some people away! But in general it's been good to me (having kept good backups!). I do not want to move away, but all the various changes over its development are really a bit of a nuisance.
