Similar here. (kde-4.6.0, kdepim-beta4).
Migrating a previously (pim-4.4.10) disconnected IMAP Account. Migrator
migrates, says "finished, no errors". But nothing happens. I look for running
processes, and migrator and kmail seem to run. Alt-F2 -> kmail -> nothing
happens.

The problem was: akonadi synced and downloaded all the mails (>4GB in all
Accounts, 45Kb-Connection...), but no Info about that! It is a great
usability-issue, the migrator should not say "finished" and activate the
close-button. Instead there should be a message "importing mails - please
wait".

Killing the migrator did not allow me to start kmail. I did the mistake and
killed kmail, too. Started again -> migrator popped up starting migration
again! Same game again -> killing migrator and kmail. Starting kmail ->
migrator popped up, migrating.

Went down and fortunately realised the network traffic (router blinking). Up
again, i got a lot errors, saying "not able to log in to [...]".
Opened the akonadi-settings - and realised, that i had three resources for each
of my mail-accounts! Deleting the obsolete ones did not really help.

In the end, I just removed all the configs from akonadi, kmail1 and kmail2,
starting from scratch. I did not have the time to wait until all the mails got
downloaded. Disabling the "offline Imap" feature, got all my mails
instantaniously.
