I am almost sure that this was not the case with KDE-4.3 or if it was, then
this update did not take longer than a second.

Yes, SQLITE is not recommended, however it worked alright up until now.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will mv the db and try starting it again. How
does one start akonadi? It's no longer listed in systemsettings in KDE-4.4.

What does that mean? Why did it run out of memory - there's still plenty of
RAM.

No, that's what got me confused and I had to ask here for suggestions. Why
would it be trying to access a lockfile which is not there?

Alan, thank you for your help. I did read the errors although somewhat in a
rush.
I couldn't find the lock file akonadi referred to and I couldn't understand
why it was trying to access a file that was not there. I thought of blowing
the db and starting KDE or kmail, but just to be sure I asked here first. I
didn't want to risk losing access to my mail or address book.
