I think there's no such module in Plasma 5 yet. I don't have it either in Gentoo.

In the corresponding applications I think.
E.g. kaddressbook for the contacts resources.

Or use akonadiconsole.

You can always edit the config files manually too of course, they should be in ~/.config/ now (akonadi_xxx_resource_Xrc), preferably when akonadi is not running I suppose.

This should be there.
Do you actually have kdepim4-runtime installed? That's what contains the systemsettings module.

Btw, I just tried it and it seems you can actually use the KDE4 settings module to configure akonadi5's resources (the settings module communicates with the running Akonadi server, and it's the running resources themselves that open the config dialog).

But note that it might give problems if you "share" the same database between akonadi4 and akonadi5, so it's probably not a good idea to switch back and forth betweed the Qt4 and Qt5 version (unless you use an external server with separate databases for the two versions).

I can't tell for KDE 4, but for Plasma it seems that you must use each app's configuration menu, yes. :( I guess devs will soon write a Plasma Personal Information kcm module, but AFAIK there isn't any yet.

I don't think so.

It was there but has been removed on purpose AFAIK.

But as mentioned, you can also use akonadiconsole, this contains everything that was part of the systemsettings module.

Oh, sad. It was a good idea to have all that configuration stuff centralized in Systemsettings, especially for users accustomed to the ease of MacOS and Windows. :-\
