Hi,

Akonadi -> storage (maildir, IMAP, ...) sync is immediate and automatic, and 
there is no way to trigger it manually (the "Synchronization" you refer to is 
another process, which is only one-way: from storage to Akonadi).

If all the emails are in Akonadi (i.e. you can browse them in KMail), but they 
have not been written to ~/.local/mail (or wherever your Local Folders are 
pointed to), then you've hit one of the "large move" bugs. Basically the data 
are only stored in Akonadi at this point and will never be written to the 
actual storage. The only thing you can do at this point is to select all 
messages in the folder and Save them to .mbox file, then try to import them 
again.

There's also a bug report about this somewhere in bugzilla.

Daniel
