Anne, I also have akonadi running but have no idea why:

% pgrep -fl akonadi
10876 /usr/bin/akonadi_control
10878 akonadiserver
10880 /usr/libexec/mysqld --defaults-file=/home/poc/.local/share/akonadi//mysql.conf --datadir=/home/poc/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ --socket=/home/poc/.local/share/akonadi/db_misc/mysql.socket
10901 /usr/bin/akonadi_kabc_resource --identifier akonadi_kabc_resource_0
10902 /usr/bin/akonadi_vcard_resource --identifier akonadi_vcard_resource_0
10910 /usr/bin/akonadi_kabc_resource --identifier akonadi_kabc_resource_1

I don't use any of the kdepim components that I'm aware of. Furthermore,
attempting to remove akonadi leads to removing virtually all of KDE
including kdebase and kdelibs, so the question as to whether it's
"necessary" seems academic.
