I have this problem as well. Until the update last night, I could get Kmail to
open in Kontact if I opened Kontact first. If I closed Kontact, Kmail would
automatically reopen.

Since the update last night, nothing I do will get Kmail to open in Kontact, it
always opens in a separate window of its own. Whether I close it with Kontact
open or not, if I click the mail button in Kontact, Kmail opens in its own
window. I tried with IMAP Resources both enabled and disabled.

If I continue to repeat the procedure of killing Kmail and selecting its icon
in Kontact, I can somehow finally get kmail to embed in Kontact. I'm not sure
how, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme to it.

on the CLI, running Kontact and finally getting Kmail to embed, I got this
output. Not sure if its related or not.
