I got further one-byte sized files. 34 broken files now after I repaired 4 mails 
by comparing message ids on server and locally and copying those 4 mail files 
over into the Akonadi maildir where Akonadi picked them up.

I removed my CRM114 spam filter rules now, so see if mails get lost ocassionaly 
by piping through crm114. This used to work in KMail 1, I have no single one-
byte sized file in KMail-1 maildir.

Information added to bug report.
