so, well, I managed to get a step further (not much, though), but still no mail.
all in all, it turns out this 'update' (not the first time, but once again) destroyed virtually anything related to kde_pim, except things which do not rely on nepomuk/akonadi.
which is IMHO still the root of all evil in kde, after 5 years.
please drop this crap and focuse on simple components, e.g. trojita, which works well, but of course still lacks basic functionality like signing, encryption, and, in the first place, an addressbook.
this is my last post on this list for now, as I'm going back again to trinity, which thankfully still provides a full kde pim suite from the 3.5.x days.
easy to configure/maintain/troubleshoot, works like a charm.
ciao
Werner
