Yeah I know upgrading doesn't fix it, but I bet you could format and re-install and never see the message again. It's brutish approach though.

This problem is haunting me for so long

Upgrading the distro and KDE did not change, but I bet this has simple fix

There is a Akonadi reset procedure documented on this forum. It involves deleting a series of directories and folders to delete the configuration and data used by Akonadi.

I stumbled on a fix for this on my laptop:

If you open System Settings and go to "Personal Information", you get the Akonadi Resources Configuration. There's a list of processes, which all seem to relate to POP3 fetching for the Plasma notifications. I don't use a POP3 account any more, so I removed all the processes except for Notes and Local Folders (local folders came back when I tried to remove it, anyway). Rebooting after that, I had no error message.

If you use the POP3 notifications, you might be able to narrow it down a bit better than that, and get rid of the message by changing a particular setting, rather than disabling the whole lot. The fix is in there though, and in my case, it solved the problem.

I managed to solve the warning message for my system. It was caused by the "Last search" folder in KAddressBook.
When I opened KAddressBook, the same error popped up again. After removing the "Last search" folder, the problem was solved.

I also had a Akonadi resource pointing to the old KABC addressbook at ~/.kde4/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf but when I removed that resource, and tried to create the "Traditional KDE addressbook" resource again, there was no option to add it. Only a LDAP addressbook was available. Somewhere down the list there also is a "Personal contacts" resource, and that worked. I imported the "std.vcf" file in there, and now I have my addressbook working again.

Thanks mate, finaly someone found the solution.

I removed the POP3 notification that had a red dot and the issue is fixed.

Kubuntu 12.04.2 - KDE 4.8.5 - Kontact 4.8.5

Despite these annoying messages "Unable to fetch items..." both events and contacts are being fetched nicely (IMAPs have always worked fine). Is it possible to stop these error messages from appearing?

TIA

It was working fine on mine too. I'd suggest going through that Personal Information section and disabling and rebooting to see what gets rid of the error. Then seeing if you can reenable it without getting the error, like the other guy here.

Thanks for your reply, efAston. I tried your suggestions but, unfortunately, the annoying error messages didn't disappear.
