Hey, I feel your pain.

I was able to do some hacking to get kmail2 working for me. I keep meaning to 
submit a bug report to ports... I 've discussed what I did here on the list 
but a bug report would probably be best. (If you haven't seen it, 
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2012-May/013203.html )

I've put that read timeout to 8 hrs now. And I gotta say, with the database 
connections staying stable I really, really like kmail2. It's quicker then the 
old kmail. It's nice to have korganizer working again too.

Cheers,
