For now, I disabled Nepomuk. Kmail complains, but at least I can use the 
computer for other stuff.

Yes, it is Bug 280194 - Kolab resource can't be modified.

Very sure about that one, but the mails tend to switch folders. Sometimes I 
see them in a certain folder while a bit later, I see them in the correct 
folder. Very scary stuff. Only on the Kmail side.

I also filed Bug 280193 - Port can not be chosen for 'Kolab Groupware Server' 
in the account wizard
