Well, since this is kmail 1.9, mostly written in 32 bit days, and moving about half of the debian list to an out of kmail directory, the problem has not re-surfaced, so I am more than ever convinced its triggered by a 32 bit overflow someplace.
Where, I've no clue, but I suspect a concerted effort to bring it into the 64 bit world would pay stability dividends over the next several years.
Might be - who knows - I looked over it - to understand, one needs the design document or some time to understand how kmail is working. As it is not a simple application the time needed is also not an hour or two.
However when you look at the properties of one directory - there is the option to enable/disable indexing. Have you seen this?
If your archive is not changing I guess also indexing is not needed there, but not sure.
