It's probably not worth trying to replicate actually.

I did have many problems with kmail2 over the months, but I was using a
config that had come a long way and been migrated through many version.
Some had even been reverted and done again, so who knows what unusual
stuff may have been living in it. Everyone else that I ever found that
had problems with kmail2 was in the same position as I.

Many people reported here and on the web that they didn't have
problems. I noticed that everyone who mentioned the state of their
config had either a clean start or migrated cleanly from a recent
version.

Those are my observations and are anecdotal at best, they lead me to
believe that your unit tests are probably the best way forward to find
sticky issues still needing debugging
