I've had similar problems with kmail2 on sid at the start of session (KMail
usually starts with my session). In these cases, exiting kmail and bringing
akonadi down usually left the mail filter agent running -- apparently stuck.
This seems to match your experience. I would kill it, start akonadi and kmail
again, and then everything worked. But this problem went away a few weeks ago.
Hope this helps,
Shai.
