Digikam is available for KF6/Qt6 in experimental, but AFAIK it has a 
separate release schedule and is thus not part of KDE Gear. Maybe some 
other updated application packages are available in experimental, I did 
not check. An "apt policy" call on the package name would reveal it.

I'd assume priority would be to first transition Plasma to unstable. On the 
other hand now that KF 6.5.0 is in unstable, I think uploads of 
application packages should not really be blocked by that.

KMail works here.

Initial startup time is higher unless I start another KF5 based app first. 
This is to be expected.

Classic view in list of mails appears to have a bug now. It often enough 
lost the column widths on either standby or locking then unlocking the 
screen. The default intelligent view works.

KDEPIM and Akonadi is a big chunk of packages. However I remember having 
read on IRC that someone intended to tackle it.

Best,
