I never used KMail.

Before Update the contacts contain much more than eMail. I also stored  
addresses, phone numbers, pictures, Notes and more and it works without  
problems. Can all this be stored in KMail config files? Where are they?

I'm desperately looking for old config files in hopes that I find my data.  
There must be a config file which contains the location where data was  
stored before update!?

Where was the data stored, if not in ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf  
because it works before update?!?

~/.local/share/contacts/ contains only WARNING_README.txt since Update.  
Before Update the folder doesn't exists.

~/.kde/share/apps/kabc contains only empty files even in old backups.

~/.kde/share/apps/sdtvcf is empty and doesn't exists before Update.

~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/lock/ contains three files  
_home_USER_.kde_share_apps_korganizer_std.icsZpWV4Ge5  
_home_USER_.kde_share_apps_korganizer_std.icspnK0zPjB and  
_var_tmp_kdecache-USER2_kcal_kresources_acRRQ7hRUgqdLHpDpY and similar  
files in the backups.

Why do I find eMail addresses in ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ibdata1  
and ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/akonadi/parttable.ibd?
