I have no idea why it is doing that on every startup but settles down after a 
while of running, but I found that this seems to solve the problem:

1) Stop KMail
2) go to directory $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kmail/search (or $HOME/.kde4 on some 
distributions)
3) delete the file calles "Last Search" (seems to be localized/translated)
4) Restart KMail

Cheers,
Kevin
