I've unintentionaly updated kdepim, but I'd give it a try anyway, so no 
problem with this.

It took "only" 1.5 hour with migrating dialog, then dialog dissappeared and 
akonadi processes were taking over 60 % cpu for another 1.5 hour (I have 
nepomuk indexing disabled). Unfortunatelly 1 migration of 10 accounts failed 
and it took another 1 hour to fix it:
- I got funny report that it can't connect to server, because my password is 
wrong and error was: 
   "SASL(0): successful result:" 
nothing more

- then it allows you to change configuration/password of the account - I've 
changed it, but change did not happen at all. I had to change 
.kde/share/config/kmailrc by hand and replace imaps:SSL+PLAIN authentication 
to imap:STARTTLS+PLAIN

- it required also changing mail server configuration, luckily it was one of 
the servers I administer (imap was not allowed there, only imaps)

but now it seems working somehow:
- meesage tags are gone
- emails are not marked as read after displaying - opening configuration re-
checking checkbox fixed this
- number of unread emails in folder list is not changing
