Actually there is ~/.cache
It is the default location for freedesktop.org's base-dirs spec's cache 
directory.
Unless $XDG_CACHE_HOME points to something else.

I don't think Akonadi uses this right now for file bases caches, but that 
should probably be investigated.

The upcoming /run directory will hopefully lead to a user local standard 
location for sockets so Akonadi can default to that when creating its sockets.

[1] The location of the socket of Akonadi server is configurable in its 
config, not sure about the state regarding the MySQL socket. Using the SQLite 
backend might be a solution if it is not.
