Well, I recall that while early KMail released on KDE 4 worked mostly fine, KMail 2 was far too unreliable and unstable. Maybe it is better now. As a result, I have switched to Claws-mail, using these script: https://bitbucket.org/shlomif/convert-away-from-kmail/src/115463239f0d/shlomif-convert-away-from-kmail I didn't have a good way to import the filters, and created them again semi-manually, as I ran into a place where I needed to filter messages.
