The upgrade works, but you need PostgreSQL 13 and 14 installed at the same 
time, than Akonadi is able to the upgrade. There may be bugs in the upgrade 
process (as you are running Debian unstable/testing), but it is hard to 
improve the situation as you delete all traces of the broken upgrade. 
By the way, ~/.config/akonadi* are configuration files! So you hopefully have 
backup those, as I expect two of your problems would been fixed, if you 
recover those files.

Sure it needs to download every mail again from your IMAP account.

The default settings have changed in between several KDEPIM versions, this is 
what is stored in .config/akonadi/ files. Recover those files from backups, 
than these two resources are availalabe again, after you restarted Akonadi.
