This morning I updated these and there associated packages:
qt-4.8.0-5.fc16.x86_64
kdebase-workspace-4.7.95-2.fc16.x86_64
kdepimlibs-4.7.95-2.fc16.x86_64

And Kmail2 still crashes, however in #289693 it is marked as fixed in 4.8

There are other issues with mail disappearing, empty folders that show un-read 
mail, deleting mail does not remove the message. Thankfully I can use akonadi 
console to resolve this.

I have seen reports of these and will try and compile a bug # list. These new 
issues I had not seen in 4.7.90, but that is part of the testing :-)
