In this case I would blame CRM114 64-bit that had (has?) known issues at 
least in Kubuntu. I also use CRM114 combined with Spambayes and the 
times filters really misbehaved was with CRM114 after I migrated to 64-bit

Generally the whole migration seems to be better off with a "move 
existing email to a separate folder, create a blank KMail, set up your 
accounts and then import your moved mailfolder/s" than the everything 
but automagic migrater.

And whatever I happen to think of Nepomuk and Akonadi - they come with 
KDE4 and Kdepim2 and no whining of mine is going to change that. I have 
also fumed several times when seemingly simple things like address 
completion stops working, when nepomuk ate my CPU alive and so on. But 
if I REALLY was fed up I would use Thunderbird or something. That I also 
do but just to separate work/business mail from others.

Which also says that my main PIM is KDEPIM and I hope to keep it that way.
