I was able to get Akonadi running by fixing some permissions problems on the default mariadb/MySQL package installation. I don't remember exactly what I did, but I'm pretty sure it was just chowning a directory in /var somewhere. If I can find what I did, I'll report back.
Edit: This is what I did: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9099557
chown -R mysql /var/lib/mysql
chgrp -R mysql /var/lib/mysql
Once MySQL was up, I had to use the system-wide MySQL socket (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE...L_instance) at `/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock`to get Akonadi to start. It just wouldn't use the default socket in `/run/user/1000/akonadi...`. It would create the socket, but couldn't make the database for some reason.
Korganizer and kcontact work well, but now my problem is with kmail crashing whenever it tries to render any list of messages. I think it's a GPU or openGL issue.
I wanted to thank you for your information. I was able to get Kontact working after following your information.
