Thanks for the pointer, I have found a work-around.  I am on X11 not Wayland.  
Doing more searching suggested that this might be/have been causing some head 
scratching as there seems to be a lot of different things involved (chromium, 
graphics card etc) - all well beyond my level of expertise.  However, the 
following seemed to work for falkon:
env MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE="zink" falkon

so adding the same to "akonadi_ews_resource ..." gave me back my O365 email (a 
mixed blessing!).

This is good enough for me until a fix is in Qt6.9.
Andy.
