What I do, when this happens, is I close KMail and then in a console window, I 
run "sudo pkill imap" about a half-dozen times followed by "sudo pkill pop3" a 
half-dozen times, then "sudo pkill kmail" a half-dozen times then "akonadictl 
stop" two or three times until I get the message that Akonadi is not running. 
Then I am able to start KMail back up and all is good with the world for 
awhile (anywhere from a few hours to a few days.)
