I first upgraded my version 5.83 packages to the ones in unstable:
aptitude safe-upgrade ~i~V5.83.0 -t experimental

Started KMail and settings window still didn't work. I did it without logging 
out or anything, so there's a reasonable chance the 5.83 versions were still 
in use.

I downloaded only kmail_21.08.0-1~np1_amd64.deb and after a reboot, so 5.85 
was surely in use, I did 'sudo dpkg -i kmail_21.08.0-1~np1_amd64.deb':
[sudo] password for diederik: 
dpkg: warning: downgrading kmail from 4:21.08.0-1 to 4:21.08.0-1~np1

And now KMail's settings window does work :-)
