Sometimes I find that I get the message
"Retrieving Folder Contents Please wait"
on KMail which continues indefinitely,
until I go to the akonadi console,
right-click on the server holding my Maildir
and turn it offline and then online again.
This seems to force KMail to sync the different folders
and stop the message.
Is this a bug?
Or is there anything else I could do?

Hi,
it's a known bug that happens from time to time, but we were not able to
determine what exactly is causing it. There was a patch for KMail yesterday
[0], [1] that was dealing with a slightly different issue, but might fix this
problem too, or at least improve the situation. The patch will be available in
KDE 4.12.

New subject: KMail and akonadi (possible solution)
I also had huge problems with kmail the last week after the last update of KDE
(I'm running from the stable repo). The KDE update happened at the same time
as wi moved to Exchange 2013 so I wasn't sure who to blame. The symptoms were
the same as mentioned on this list "Retrieving folder contents..." would take
forever and timeouts to the exchange server. The only thing that would help
for a while was to go offline/online.
Today I discovered that the "Mail filter"-something was the one to blame.
Looking at Settings->Configure Filter i found an <unknown> entry, I removed it
and voila, kmail was suddenly back to speed again. I do not use Mail filters,
but might have toyed with it sometime in the past.
What a relief! Working with Outlook Web Access for a week felt like having at
least one arm tied behind my back...
