That's not a Plasma DE problem, but something related to KDE PIM (akonadi). 
Best ask on kdepim-users (the ML).

How about windows of other applications? As you know, the Plasma DE has several 
options for restoring the session that was active on logout. By default (IIRC), 
it will restore the last used session, but you can also set it to define a 
fixed session upon the next logout, and then have that session restored every 
time.  If you use that option and the information somehow got lost that would 
explain your current issue. If you're not using it, you could check it out and 
see if it gives you the behaviour you want.

BTW, which applications are started is indeed a Plasma responsibility, but 
window geometry is under control of both the window manager and the application 
itself. THat is, the application is responsible (AFAIK!) for saving its last 
window geometry via a function in the KWindowSystem framework (or defining its 
desired initial size, as in the case of Konsole), and the window manager is 
responsible for respecting that information (or not; there's a setting for that 
in the KWin preferences).

Again, only Konsole windows, or any and all windows? This sounds more like a 
Plasma issue, but it could also be a result of an update to your drivers or 
your X11 server. Or maybe you migrated to using Wayland?
