You could try running kmail instead of kontact for a little while and see if 
you get the same results.
Other than that, you may have to wait for a developer to help but i've been 
posting quite a few issues/queries about kmail 5.3.0 but no-one has responded 
to them as yet, they could all be busy at the moment.
You could try logging a bug report in bugs.kde.org in the hope someone 
responds but that can also be a slow process in waiting for a response.
