The message basically means "KMail is fetching the email from Akonadi". In 
most cases it should be so fast that you don't see the message, but sometimes 
when Akonadi (or the database) is busy and cannot reply immediatelly KMail 
shows you this message. Especially if you use maildir/mbox (when the email 
needs to be loaded from harddisk) or online IMAP (when the email needs to be 
downloaded from the server), the message might appear for a bit longer.

Sometimes something goes wrong and the message sticks forever. No idea why, 
but I haven't seen it in quite a while (it used to be much worse ;-)). If the 
email does not show after some time, restarting KMail/Kontact should do the 
trick, in worst case you can restart Akonadi (akonadictl restart).
