I've suffered a lot with KMail over the years,
but it's been working reasonably well for me recently.

Which search facility do you mean?
I find the Search above the emails works well
with sender's name, subject, etc.

In the past I think KMail has got slow for me
when Inbox gets very large, say over 10,000 emails.

I do find Akonadi very annoying.
I wish the developers would spend a little time
making their error or warning messages intelligible to mortals.
