I started already writing it down how to get usefull informations from 
kdepim+akonadi[1]. Maybe you can take this as stating point.

Mostly for a noresponing akonadi<->kmail the interessting tabs in 
akonadiconsole are debugger and job tracker. Both must be activate before 
akonadi get in the "nonresponing" state.

Othe the jobtracker shows one running job when it gets in the "nonresponing" 
state. Often this job is the source of the problem or one from above - does 
one fails?

The debugger is good to see if there is any messages going from/to a client 
and akonadi. That is also very helpfull if you want to make sure if a client 
is sending something or got response from akonadi.

> 1) How do I see the state of Akonadi and whether it is stuck somewhere?

The only way i know it try if akonadi is doing something, if you trigger it ( 
for example a complete resync). You can do this from the resource tab in 
akonadiconsole. and than look to the job tracker/debugger

trigger a sync and see in the debugger/jobtracker , if akonadi is doning 
something for the maildir resource.

jobtracker and or trigger.

debugger, kmail tab
