I will not, but please try to write in a way that it is readable.

My suggestion is to not do the conversion, but set up the account manually. 
And remove the akonadi database before. Well, to not write this down again 
and again, here is a wiki entry for it:

Anne or somebody else, please proof read, fix the syntax if needed.

Probably harmless and most probably doesn't even come from KMail code. 
Anyway, nothing new, many Qt/KDE apps generate those events.

I'm not sure I understand, but if you think it is a bug, report it as so on 
bugs.kde.org.

Again, bugs.kde.org with clear description, including the type of the 
folders (check in the kmail configuration), how you move it, etc.

Same here: bugs.kde.org.

Probably belongs to one of the above reports.

True, but this is mostly outside of kdepim's control.

Some hints:
- enable debug outputs for akonadi/kmail with kdebugdialog
- use akonadiconsole and enable the debugger, but only for a short time when 
you want to record some log, otherwise it will be slow

But the most important is clear bug report with a way to reproduce it.
