I could get a much better idea of what is going on if, while KMail is
stuck, you gather a backtrace and post it to the list.

First, install the tdepim debugging symbols and gdb (sudo apt-get install
tdepim-trinity-dbg dbg).  Then try to get KMail to hang (apparently this
could take a while from what you describe).  When kmail hangs do this:
1. )Open a terminal
2.) sudo gdb --pid `pidof kmail`
3.) thread apply all bt
<post output to the list>
4.) q
5.) Close terminal, execute temporary workaround you described above

Thanks!
