Hows this for a bad review.... :) I get kmail crashing frequently when trying to load external html sources. When migrating, my filters got screwed (again... sigh). My local calendars did not migrate and I had to go and find them. I tried to downgrade to 4.4.10 but I had problems with my filters again... So I upgraded again. While trying to figure out if I could do anything about my issues I blew away the newer .kde and restored my backup .kde. That left me with an orphaned kjots resource "Local Notes" with no easy way to edit the Akonadi db to remove them. And I don't want to blow away the Akonadi db cause that will require me to rebuild all of my resources including kmail and that would require me to rebuild all of filters... again... sigh.
