We'll get you sorted, don't worry. :)

Ok, that smells of dodgy interaction between KMail and KOrganizer. Are you 
runnning them side-by-side or inside Kontact? Are you positively certain you 
don't have mixed versions (maybe from some older KDE) lying around that could 
interfere?

Ok. That's very wrong. Can you please try using KMail and KOrganizer 
standalone (both started from the same konsole, please, so you see the 
output, not using the menu or alt-f2), in case you are using Kontact so far, 
and Kontact, also started from a konsole, in case you are so far using 
standalone apps?

Again, very, very wrong. Something is majorly borked here. But you guessed 
that already. ;) Can you please send me the kmailrc for that user, assuming 
it's a test user. Anonymized, if it's a real one? 
(~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc)

Yes, they should be added locally, from KOrganizer to KMail directly, no 
server communication involved.
