Kmail2 problems

Yesterday I tried switching from the internal MyAQl data base to an
External MySQL database on localhost.

I created a database on localhost version of Mysql. I created a user
called Akonadiuser with same password as the internal version. I van log
on to Mysql/akonadi from command line. I gave the user all privileges on
the database.

Since then the following has happened:

  1. If I try to start akonadi with localhost mysql database I get message
    cannot register with D-Bus, nothing starts. Why?

  2. If I use the internal database, Akonadi starts, kontact starts but I
    see no emails in kmail 4.7.3 (accounts are set up correctly. Resources
    appear correct. There is mail in ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox/new
    and /cur.

  3. Usenet(Knode), Calendar and Contacts work.

  4. Akonadi resources under Config → Desktop → personal Information.
    Show KMAIL Folders (synchronizing email folder ininbox (100%) Hangs
    there.

  5. I know email accounts are Ok since there are same as ones under
    seaMonkey and SeaMonkey retrieves mail fine.

Questions?

  1. What creates the tables in the new MySQL database? No tables created.
    I assume that may be caused by inability to register with d-bus.

  2. What is synchronizing?

  3. do I migrate from internal to localhost Mysql?

Any help would be appreciated?
