I backed out KDE 4.7 today after installing it this morning and finding 
kmail2 unusable. All I did was enable the K46 repo and disabled the K47 
repo. Then using YaST clicked update for all rpms that showed red and a 
downgrade to KDE4.6.5. It a dependence showed I clicked the downgrade 
option. After all was done, I rebooted and started Kontact (Kmail 4.6.5 
eas there. After restarting kmail about three times all my folders, old 
emails and contacts showed up. Only proble was then some confusion bu 
kmail and duplicate messages from the successful migration when I 
installed kde 4.7. I found that ~home/.kde4/share/apps/kmail2 folder was 
still there, I renamed it kmail2-old, I left kmail-migrator folder 
alone, even though I think you can deleted both. Kmail is now back to 
normal and worked as before.

Only thing apparently not migrated or restored was my calendar but i had 
both a ics and vcs backup. I just clicked on the back file (ics first) 
and it asked what I wanted to do. I answer merge with default calendar.

Everything else that I use seemed to work in 4.7. If I could get the 
distribution groups to work I'd stay with 4.6.5 for awhile. Not sure if 
4.7 work, could not test it. Will try on 12.1 ms3 tommorrow.

Hope above helps.
