You are talking about 2 different issues here?  1) kontact will not start 2) 
kmail delays?

Are you saying the same workaround applies to both?

I have noticed kmail hangs for several seconds on sending - which I hadn't 
noticed before 4.4 - but it doesn't hang long enough to be annoying.  Is 
that what you mean?
