I experienced the same problems with 4.11. I went back to 4.10 for now 
because I didn't have time for extensive problem analysis.

Same here. I also didn't have a duplicate "special folder collection".

Hmm. I have a lot more IMAP mailboxes. One of those also is on an 
Exchange server, but I think it's 2010. What I've noticed with KMail 
4.11/Akonadi 1.10 (and what I'm also seeing with KMail 4.10.5 and 
Akonadi 1.9.2, but without apparent negative effects) is that KMail is 
syncing the folders of the Exchange account incessantly. The Exchange 
account has lots of folders so I suspect that once all folders have been 
synced KMail immediately starts another syncing round.

Do you also see this incessant folder syncing?

Since the incessant syncing doesn't cause any problems with 4.10 it's 
probably a red herring.

For an online debugging session try to catch Daniel Vrátil (or Kevin 
Krammer or Volker Krause) at the #akonadi IRC channel on 
irc.freenode.org.
