So apparently this is just an overhead we have to pay with big folders... I decided to let kmail does whatever it was doing in the seemingly stuck mode with "retrieving folder content" from a wired network (I was on a wireless before) and let it run it course. Eventually it finish and now it seems to behave better. As I replied to Rex, Kmail did not hung, but there was no indication it was doing anything either. Apparently it was doing something, probably trying to sync or cache the headers of all the messages since I set up from fresh. Probably there's a better solution to somehow inform the user that it's still doing something, and for e.g. prioritize to download and then show the message being selected before continuing to try caching everything else, then just showing the message "Retrieving folder content" for a loooong time.
