Well if I am not mistaken Kabc is using it, I am not sure if it is set to use 
Kabc initially as default, Rex, Kevin? but I use it (for testing purposes) 
with Kabc:

2560 /usr/bin/akonadi_control
2562 akonadiserver
2569 /usr/libexec/mysqld --defaults-
file=/home/g6avk/.local/share/akonadi//mysql.conf --
datadir=/home/g6avk/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ --
socket=/home/g6avk/.local/share/akonadi/db_misc/mysql.socket
2622 /usr/bin/akonadi_mailthreader_agent --identifier 
akonadi_mailthreader_agent
2623 /usr/bin/akonadi_vcard_resource --identifier akonadi_vcard_resource_2

Works well an not resource hungry. If you don't want/need to use it disable it 
in systems settings.
