I often read comments like that and wonder why I have never really experienced 
all those troubles that so many users seem to have. I've been using kmail 
since the late 90s and it did not work as expected from time to time but it 
was acceptable and the problems resolved themselves somehow over time. 
Sometimes new setup of the whole distribution changed things for the better 
(or worse) sometimes updates.
But I just used kmail with akonadi all along with imap setups and cannot 
confirm those major problems like yours Anders.

I don't want to belittle your experience Anders but I felt the developers'd 
like to see a positive comment once in a while.
