I'm also seeing this from time to time (but I'm still using 4.10.5; I 
had hoped that this problem would be gone once I'd update to the latest 
release). Most of the time it happens if I try to open some message in 
one particular account. This account often goes offline after some time, 
so the connection to the server appears to be somewhat unstable. I 
almost never see this with other IMAP accounts (even with Exchange 
servers).

FWIW, I shutdown KMail with
qdbus org.kde.kmail2 /MainApplication org.kde.KApplication.quit
instead of killall kmail, but it probably doesn't make much of a 
difference.
