Hi,
To get a clear picture of my contacts after the migration I:
1) removed all "recently used addresses" in KMail (Settings -> Configure KMail 
-> Composer -> Edit Recent Addresses ...)
2) Disable the 'old' Default Address book in KDE Resources (after adding the 
Akonadi-resource)
3) Restart KMail to be sure no old addresses are left in memory.
4) (Re)moved all files in ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc

I'm not sure if it's necessary, but I like to clean up old, not used stuff :-)

Hope this helps.
