Ok, the upgrade to F24 went quite well using DNF system-upgrade.
However the updated Kmail did not :-( It is unusable with my ISP's IMAP

which is courier. I am aware that there are some bug fixes (in the newer
PIM release)
for courier IMAP but I don't think they would help my situation.
As it stands on every mail check old messages along with new are
re-downloaded and in
turn these are older ones are ghost messages so I cannot read or delete
them.
Over an evening, well an hour or so I had hundreds of dupes/ghost emails
in my various
folders making Kmail totally unusable :-(
:-(
I have different providers with different mail servers. One of the providers
runs cyrus-imap and another has an outlook server. No problems on any of them.

However... with Gmail's IMAP it is working Extremely well indeed.
I agree, that was one of the places where I noticed a noticeable speed
improvement. Congratulation to Daniel and co.
I had my laptop turned on every week and today after restarting it I noticed,
by accident, that kmail just works. No more problems with exausted processes/
threads. :-)
For the time being I will use Webmail for my ISP's IMAP and
search
kde.bugs for reports
as I have seen this problem or similar posted on other forums.
Maybe 16.04 has fixes.. need to look out the changelog.
Plasma in F24 though is looking good and working well.
