akonadi in wip defaults to sqlite.  If you want to use mysql you need to 
set the mysql option.

Because kmail2 doesn't work well in my environment, there are lots of 
issues with it discussed on the kdepim mailing list, and Sverre had issues 
when he tried it recently.  At some point I'll probably make it possible 
to either use the latest kdepim or the current 4.4 one but I'm in no hurry 
to use kmail2.
