I guess the names of the dictionaries changed and thus the dictionaries 
set in older identities could not be found in the list of dictionaries. 
IMO in this case KMail should use the default dictionary defined KDE 
wide settings of the spellchecker. This does not seem to be the case. I 
suggest writing a bug report for this.
