It should be there almost instantly after being written to the cache.

When an item, in this case an email, gets added to an Akonadi collection, it 
is written to the cache and the resource is notified about the addition.
The resource then fetches the data from the cache and writes it to its 
backend.

That last step depends on the resource currently being able to reach its 
backend, e.g. a server based resource would require a network connection for 
that.
So a resource that is in such a state (resource is "offline") would keep track 
of the addition and replay them one it becomes operational again (resource is 
"online").

You could check if the resource is offline for whatever reason.

kcmshell4 kcm_akonadi_resources
would show that, as would akonadiconsole's agent tab.

One word of caution: try not to remove the resource, this would signal Akonadi 
that it can remove any cached items associated with that resource.

Cheers,
Kevin
