I've done all that some weeks ago. 

I have a file named "akonadi_nepomuk_contact_feederrc, reading

[InitialIndexing]
IndexCompatLevel=1

That worries me, as i indicates that all my contacts are not indexed? 
Completion does not find my groups. I believe it should be possible to add a 
new contact, and have this contact (or group) available in the completion 
immediately!

In general, kmail appears to work well most of the time, but somewhat erratic, 
like when suddenly it decides to just show a white box for a main window, and 
then when quitted using kquitapp showing a dialog claiming that "there was an 
error"; or when suddenly it decides not to finish filtering in one way or the 
other.

But it is usable again, and hopefully will get back to being the killer 
application it used to be! :)
