Without having any knowledge really of the inner workings of KMail and 
Akonadi: I am on the same version as you after doing a "clean install" 
but keeping my /home folder and I see all sorts of "funny stuff" in 
Kmail. Like folders repeatedly marking all mail as unread...

and I have for the umpteenth time since the whole search thing in 
Contacts was introduced lost automatic search for email address...

My solution is the simple but boring: from a konsole terminal run 
akonadictl stop. Then reboot

all the best
