No problem Martin, and thanks for even noticing it! ;)

However, unfortunately I don't think I can be of much help regarding this or
similar bugs at the moment.

I'm using KDE Neon, and I abandoned kMail quite some time ago when - besides
the very bad performance - kMail itself or Akonadi (cannot remember exactly)
completely broke for me once again after some update. Unfortunately, it was no
rare event to run "apt-get upgrade" on Neon - which you also need to do to get
security and maintenance updates - just to find out that you didn't have a
working mail client any more...)

I also increasingly needed to work with CalDAV and team events, which didn't
work at all reliably with kOrganizer.

As I couldn't work this way, I switched to Thunderbird, even though I actually
liked kMails interface and feature set (if it would work as expected...) better
than Thunderbird's. I just was no longer willing to repeatedly have to invest
hours of work just to be able to continue reading and writing mails after
bugfix and maintenance updates to the OS...

Until I abandoned it, performance didn't get any better, though. (I'm not sure
when I switched to Thunderbird, but according to my kMail bug reports I used
several 5.x versions, at least up to 5.8 and possibly later releases.
