After issues, some of which I've reported here, I've come to discover that a good treatment for kmail maildir directories is to rename the mail directory, copy its contents to a new directory with the original name of the mail directory, and once everything is copied to opeen kmail again. A surprising amount of time it solves the problem.
(As long as I'm here, I mentioned the machine just up and crashing from time to time. I do not know that I found the cause, but the installation of a new, clean, much, much larger chip cooler has resulted in it no longer doing that.)
