Because KMail depends on KAddressBook you can not run it without Akonadi.  You 
have to sort out the problems so that Akonadi, and hence KMail, can work.  
First - the obvious question.  I assume that there's no possibility that mysql 
was not re-started since the update?

Read the error message carefully, then see if any of the entries in 
http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi match your problem.

I don't know whether your fetching problems could be related or not, but 
certainly KMail can be expected to have problems if it is trying to use a 
database that is corrupt.  I'd be inclined to try the commands given to remove 
the existing database, though you probably need to sort out the mysql problem 
first.
