OK I found a workaround that I consider "not satisfactory" but it
makes things work again.

There is way to make KMail look in all Nepmuk data instead of where it
is so to speak supposed to (explanation way to techie for me, maybe
Lindsay can explain it).

In folder HOME/.kde/share/config there is a file
"kpimcompletionorder". Add these 2 lines:
[General]
UseNepomuk=true

restart KMail and presto, completion works (you get more suggestions
than before) and so does Groups

Whatever you do - do not set the value to "false", even Dolphin
stopped working for unknown reasons

As I said: this is a workaround, it is NOT how it is supposed to work
and I will be most happy if someone can find a "proper" solution.
