Just adding some more information:

The problem is away, if I disable the autochecking of IMAP accounts. So I see

a) IMAP Servers don't let me in once a minute - by configuration
    (kmail should place a nice notice in this case...)
b) IO-Slave has problems with regulary pulling mails from the server

Currently looking into a) ...
