When i start KMail in Kubuntu 23.04, it says Akonadi personal information manager is not operational. I had recently been setting up mysql for use in amarok. this is what happens when i try to start the service:
akonadictl start org.kde.pim.akonadictl: Starting Akonadi Server...
org.kde.pim.akonadictl: done.

org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: stdout: ""
org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: stderr: "mysqld-akonadi: [ERROR] Failed to open required defaults file: /home/tweak/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf\nmysqld-akonadi: [ERROR] Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted!\n"

org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Shutting down AkonadiServer...

How can I recover from this to use kmail again? It does appear that the files exist that it is referencing an error to.

Thank you. I hope I can get this working again~
